Whether or it meant his employees were delivering less work wasn't mentioned. He felt like he had less of a work ethic, so it seemed to be nixed.
Which is kind of shitty tbh, if it was just him. Because I think it's also reasonable to say that the CEO/founder of a startup will probably need to put in more hours than their employees. It's not fair maybe, but then, the CEO/founder is also reaping most of the rewards.
- danso 8y agoIf the 4-day week was good for the rest of his employees, why would he roll it back? I think he’s being diplomatic in his explanation, as it doesn’t look good to insinuate in public that the failure of a bold idea was the fault of the employees.
- thedz 8y agoThat's fair enough, it sounds like as with any other big cultural shift (I see some parallels with remote working), there must be processes and other safeguards in place to make sure it runs smoothly.
