Four Day Workweek Tech Jobs?

11 points by aeth0s ↗ HN
I'm interested in joining a tech company that is experimenting with a four day workweek. Do you know of any organizations running on a four day workweek or similarly structured schedules?

And, for larger discussion: do you think the four day workweek will become more prevalent in the tech sector?

Basecamp during the summer months... but good luck getting a job there.

No way - a five day work week with eight hours per day (minimum) is too ingrained into our working culture. "Tech" has nothing to do with it.

Why not start consulting/contracting on a project basis? You can set your own hours and try out the four day work week.

In my experience, not much work is done on Fridays...so most people work 4 days and are paid for 5.

Dolby has a 9 hour workday and a Friday off every other week IIRC.

Raytheon does this as well. At least they did 15 years ago.
