- theonething 5y agoIf you don't mind sharing, could you give more details on how you found 4 day a week jobs?
- Tade0 5y agoI can answer this, since I have a friend who's been doing this for years: you boil the frog. He started by taking the second half of each Friday off, because it was easy to sell his superiors on it. During the next performance review he asked to have the whole Friday off, and was granted permission to do so. A while after that he moved his day off to Monday.
- perfunctory 5y agoYou look for regular jobs and then negotiate.

- stavros 5y agoI've been working four day weeks for years too, and this is how: I asked them whether they'd be okay with me working 20% less for 20% less money and they said sure.
- raunometsa 5y agoI'm keeping a list of remote jobs with 4-day weeks here, but I have to say there's not too many of them yet :) https://remotehunt.com/remote-jobs-with-4-day-work-weeks https://remotehunt.com/remote-jobs-with-4-day-work-weeks So it's probably better to negotiate your current job.
- fighterpilot 5y agoBetteridge's law is false, and it says so in the Wiki article you linked.
- stavros 5y agoNew headline: "Is Betteridge's law true?"
- dbbk 5y agoLazy take.
