It's very straightforward.
1. I work for a company and I want to get paid more, not less.
2. OP is contacting companies and asking them to move to a model in which they pay less. (Even if the rate is the same, the absolute amount is less)
3. From the previous two points it follows that I don't agree with what OP is doing.
- HomeDeLaPot 5y agoSomeone who would like to take a pay cut for a 3-day weekend every week would disagree. Doesn't make OP's actions wrong—just different perspectives, I guess. (What if someone convinced your company to give you a raise and require you to work Saturdays?)
- beforeolives 5y ago> What if someone convinced your company to give you a raise and require you to work Saturdays? I would personally take a raise + extra work. But I would never presume that I have things figured out to the point where I make a website and starting contacting companies so I can push my personal preferences as the clearly superior model for people I've never met in my life. Which is what OP is doing. That's what doesn't sit right with me.
- HomeDeLaPot 5y agoThat's fair, but also norms won't change until someone does decide that they've figured out something better. We only have the 8-hour workday that we take for granted today because people advocated for it in the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day
