A local company has started an experiment with the 4 day workweek, as the first big company in the country to do so.
However 3 of those days are to be spent in the office. There is a dress code. And you need to be passionate, they aren't to looking for a 9-5 mentality. Office parties and company outings aren't mandatory but if you intend to never visit them, you probably aren't a good fit for the company.
Hard pass.

For reasons beyond my comprehension they are number one on the "Best Workplaces Europe 2023" list in the 500+ employees category.
- fnordian_slip 2y agoMight one of the reasons be that these things are easily gamed? And maybe another one, that such workplaces by their nature select employees who would describe themselves as "driven, work-hard-play-hard 10x programmers not looking for a 9-5", and who upper management would probably describe as "suckers", at least behind closed doors? You know, the ones that believe that worker's rights and unions only benefit low-performers, and not alphas like themselves.
