37signals doesn't have a four day workweek. They tried it and found it wasn't quite enough time to do everything they wanted to do in a week.

- mjn 13y agoThe most recent update I can find from them (May 2012) said that they still have 4-day workweeks half the year, May-October: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3186-workplace-experiments-a-month-to-yourself http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3186-workplace-experiments-a-... Have they gotten rid of it entirely since then?
- michaeldhopkins 13y agoAh, yes, you are right that they still have it around. The first time they did it, they were hoping that it would work year-round and they had to get rid of that idea. I'm glad they are able to make it work periodically, though.
