   Usually there is no drop in salary i.e. most of these companies previously worked 5 days per week and then switched to a 4 day week without loss in salary

   Cool project! Would be interesting to see a metric on "average temperature change since 1960" to see which places have been hit hardest by climate change Saying the planet has increased in temperature by 1.5 degree doesn't me

    I think it's for a few reasons: Stigma: Much like the phrase "remote work" had 5 years ago, there is a stigma around the 4 day work week e.g. for many, it's a synonym for "laziness" Fear: if a company switches

    We 100% need a shorter week The advantages are numerous but one of the key advantages is increased productivity. A 4 day week = a 50% longer weekend. (Knowledge) workers are more productive with this extra day off meaning there is almost no

    Ye, how people spend their time should definitely be up to them The problem arises, however, when overworking (or bragging about overworking) becomes part of the culture within a company e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

    I run https://4dayweek.io and during the time I spent researching companies, it blew my mind how awful the vacation policy is in some companies (especially the US) i.e. 10 days vacation shouldn't be celebrated as a benefit.

    Very cool, good luck! I'm sure you'll do great p.s. if you would be open to listing your positions on a 4 day work week (even at 80% salary) I'd be more than happy to promote them on https://4dayweek.io + the news

    Love the idea, recently got referred to it by a friend. Hopefully it will help the "open salaries" movement I'm more interested in the business side of things e.g. how do you plan on monetising this app?
