Ask HN: What companies currently have 4 day work weeks?
4 day work weeks seem like an incredible perk.
Last year there were a few articles going around HN about larger orgs trying them out and finding them productive
Have any startups, or other companies embraced this as a way to attract talent? Who's doing this today?
- softwaredoug 3y agoAt Shopify, we would have 4 day work weeks over the summer. My experience was we compressed a lot of work into 4 days, working longer hours to get our goals done. I honestly don't mind a compressed, intense 4 day work / 3 days off cycle, but I don't think I did less total work.

- ActorNightly 3y agoUnofficially, any large software company with lax RTO/WFH policies has had this for quite some time. Very few people work full 8 hours a day at these.
- HandsFreeFap 3y agoMost do. Where i work has me on 5s right now just due to what works for me. I do 3/2 split RTO. But a lot of my team are 2/2 in office WFH.

- paulcole 3y agoWhere I work, we started doing an on-call person from each team for urgent issues on Fridays so we can still be available 5 days a week to customers while internally being mostly 4 days a week. So far it seems like a fair trade. Digital marketing agency not software development though. 30-person company.
