The only thing I support more than WFH is my competitors working 20% less.
If they're doing this to compete for talent, go ahead by all means. I suspect they need to do something like this also because they're a UK SaaS company (so lower wages to start) serving the low-end of the non-profit market (price sensitive buyers). And they don't have the enterprise features to compete with Salesforce and CRM for the high-end segment.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoThe goal is to keep expanding these trials until labor law ratchets the work week down for everyone to 4 days. It will take time, but it will happen. If you as a freelancer want to work five days a week (or more), by all means, spend your life in such a manner. The rest of us work to live, not live to work.
- ako 4y agoLaws mostly do not apply across borders, and many of your competitors are in other countries. How do you think you can compete if your competitor's employees work 25% more?
- toomuchtodo 4y agoYou disadvantage foreign firms with cross border financial/policy mechanisms, in the same way you encourage better labor and environmental practices for work outsourced abroad. This is a well worn policy path. A race to the bottom can avoided with laws and regulation.
- fleddr 4y agoSad that you call your colleagues "competitors". I guess you also missed the main point of the initiative, which is to have the same productivity in one day less. So your extra day of work effectively does nothing to the bottom line. In case it does, all power to you. I think it's fair game that when people work more, they earn more. Nothing wrong with that.
