>Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning. And the reason startups work is because people work like hell.
This doesn't work once people have families/lives. You're going to exclude a lot of more experienced people with this mindset.
You want a bunch of 20 somethings to hack a product together cool, but in my 30s I'm not working 70 hour weeks.
I have a dream of creating a 4 day work week company geared towards people who understand time is more important than money. We'd pay less than market, but encourage people to get things done while actually at work.
The modern workplace is outdated. Butt in chair != productivity. An adult who needs to take off at 3 to pick up their kids can be just as effective as someone who sits around making small talk until 6.
- infotainment 2y agoCongratulations, you've discovered the reason companies only want to hire new grads!
- throw_m239339 2y agoYeah, "no grads" with 20 years of experience in React minimum... /s
- ath3nd 2y ago> I have a dream of creating a 4 day work week company I do work at a 4 day work week company which is also remote-first (no mandatory office meetings, ever). I don't think I am ever going back to anything different. > The modern workplace is outdated. Butt in chair != productivity.

Hire adults and show them that you trust them, and you will get great results.
