We work a 4-day week and just raised $4.75m (2012)
Congratulation! This is how it should be done.<p>And I have a question....<p>All professors of management and organizations understand that work week should be defined differently for knowledge workers. And that most the important quality of knowledge workers is initiative.<p>So if you have 80 hours work week and all innovation or initiative is dismissed, that can mean two things:<p>1) you are not "knowledge worker" but just "coding monkey" (it is "above your pay")<p>2) the company sucks<p>Majority of tech companies require 7-day work week and they discourage any initiative.<p>Does this mean that majority of programers are not actually hired as "knowledge workers" but as "coding monkeys"? Or that majority of tech companies suck?<p>EDIT: This 7-work week is actually based on calculation: 5 days * 10 hours per day + 5 hours on weekend (just check email) which is 55 hours per week => 7 working days of 8 hours each.
