A few years ago (before I switched to full remote in 2018), I wondered something similar and I even went as far as wanting half time/pay: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14808178 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14808178 Ever since I went full remote, and this was in 2018 well before the pandemic, I no longer feel like working full time is a hindrance to my life in general (outside of work) and I can still do most things I want to do. In the age of pandemic and working remote being the norm, I imagine the interest for reducing work days is less intense than before for other folks too. Having said that, I really like what you're doing, pushing for a new way to work; even if that doesn't become a standard, it would be nice to see it become an option. The common responses you get really make me sad as well. The first two at least made an attempt to give you a reason for rejection, the last one is just so infuriating. "We are only looking for full-time employees" as a response basically just says "Go away, don't waste my time". I'll say though, from the perspective of the company, almost no company is ever going to receive a cold call/email from you and say, hey, this suggestion sounds good, let's change our entire company culture based on this one random person's opinion. If this movement indeed gets traction, it'll take companies lots of time to change. It's similar to remote work (before the pandemic). Remote has been viable for a long time, but it took companies consciously making a huge effort to do so (barring a pandemic that forces them to).
