   We have two offices (PDX and ORL) but roughly 50% of Treehouse works from home so that definitely helps keep overheads low.

    Totally agree. Engineers are stripped of all their power when their ability to choose their projects has been taken away. They get reduced, as you said, to simple code monkeys. It's insane.

    60+ employees now and we're still doing the 4-day (32 hour) week. Probably saw this, but we have also since removed managers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6886907

    > EDIT: It seems they do offer cost-of-living adjustments but only for employees who are performing well (not that I'm advocating giving raises to poorly performing employees, but we're talking about 1-2% to cover inflation her

    The funny thing is that in the four companies I worked for as an employee, I never once heard those who were being managed say they really valued and benefitted from their Manager and we had plenty of great managers. The founders always tho

    Thanks for posting this. It's been fun to document how #NoBoss actually works day-to-day. My hope is that other companies will try this.
