Treehouse used to do 4/10s and from what I remember listening to Ryan Carson's podcast with Jason Calacanis, it didn't work out for them. So I don't think this should apply to every workplace. For more mature companies, it makes sense. For startups, I don't think so.
- moate 8y agoThis isn't proposing 4/10s, it's 4/8s. Basically, you're probably just faffing about for 8 hours a week anyway, so do it at home instead of at work.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoI'm not surprised that didn't work, your productivity is going to fall through the day as you become tired. After 10 hours it might well be negative.
- rsbrown 8y agoTreehouse’s abandonmnent of the 4-day work week suspiciously coincided with their taking on a Series B round of funding. I’m implying they were pressured to drop it by investors. This was followed by significant layoffs. Furthermore, no formal analysis was done of the Treehouse experience. Nothing conclusive can be inferred from the Treehouse experience until/unless they release data and a rigid analysis is done.
