Companies with 4 days work week?

I've been hearing a lot about this four-day work week concept lately. A friend of mine in New Zealand just started a job at a company that's trying it out. 

She says she's loving the extra day off, but I wonder about the long-term effects. Has anyone here experienced a compressed work week? 

I'm curious how it impacts productivity and work-life balance. If your company suddenly announced they were switching to a four-day week, how do you think it would go down?

What are your opinions on a 4 day work week?

is it like an unknown fact that all successful startups had 6 had days working week initially, because then why are all early stage startups these days have a 6 day work week. 

If you want…you can do 6 days work in 5

why 6 days work week

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a bit about how my life has changed since my commute time reduced to less than 30 minutes. I never realized how much of a toll my daily commute was taking on my mental health until it drastically shortened.

Before the change, I used to spend nearly two hours each day in traffic, feeling frustrated and stressed before even reaching the office. By the time I got home, I was too exhausted to do much of anything. My evenings were just quick dinners and collapsing into bed, dreading the next day's meetings. 

Now that my commute is only 20 minutes, I feel like a different person. I use that time to sleep in a bit longer, which has made a world of difference. 

The biggest change has been in my stress levels. I no longer spend my mornings in a state of anxiety and worried about being late. 

The improvement in my mental health is noticeable. I’m happier, less irritable, and more productive at work. I even find that I’m more engaged and present in my interactions with others. Reducing my commute time has given me back so much more than just hours in my day – it’s given me a better quality of life.

How about you all? Has anyone else experienced a significant mental health boost from a shorter commute? I’d love to hear your stories and tips on how you’ve made the most of the extra time.

How has your mental health improved with a shorter commute?

Let me explain, managers or senior folks who reply/slack/email or do any form of communication outside working hours and especially over weekends… I hate it. If u do it without the counter party explicitly expressing such urgency then you are way worse. 

Just because their current lifestyle or situation allows them to do it… They do it without a second thought. They do not realize that this sets the benchmark or expectations for others who may not be able or like to do same. 

You might say they’re not coercing others to do it then what’s the harm? Well this little thing is what sets the chain reaction to unhealthy WLB. The stakeholders or their heads get the wrong impression and create unhealthy expectation from others. This is just a rant and if u are such a person… Stop doing it without thinking of its unintended consequences.

Haan toh bhai tu mat kar 
 They reply at a time that works for them- you set the right expectations for yourself. Unke response time se teri expectation setting kyu change hogi?

- Japan is promoting a 4-day workweek to address labor shortages and improve work-life balance.
- Despite government support since 2021, only 8% of companies have adopted the shorter workweek.
- The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare offers free consulting and grants to encourage adoption.
- Cultural pressures and long-standing work habits pose significant challenges to the initiative.
- Proponents argue the model supports families and could help mitigate Japan's declining birth rate.

Japan Encourages 4-Day Workweek to Combat Labor Shortage

I believe it is extremely difficult to judge exact level of an individual during an interview. It is better to also use past salary as some indication of value to last company. Having said that, the company needs to get to the correct salary range depending on performance in first 6 months. 

Thoughts?

(Controversial Opinion) I think it’s okay to give salaries based on past salaries

- Revolut has finally secured a UK banking licence, ending a prolonged three-year struggle with regulators, which is a significant boost for its expansion plans in its home market.
- The Prudential Regulation Authority granted the licence, overcoming previous hurdles including auditors' inability to fully verify revenue figures in the 2021 accounts.
- With this licence, Revolut can now expand its product and service offerings in the UK, its largest market, complementing its existing European banking licence from Lithuania.
- CEO Nik Storonsky expressed pride in reaching this milestone, emphasizing the company's commitment to becoming the bank of choice for UK customers.
- Despite receiving the licence with restrictions, Revolut plans to build out its UK banking operations before a full launch, aiming to leverage its 9 million UK customers and 45 million globally.

90 days notice period is such a turn down. Most of the companies reject a legit candidate seeing that previous organisation has long notice period. What should be the best approach to handle this situation?

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

35M 
  
 Pretty fit and the last body checkup showed everything is within range 
  
 1) gym 4 days a week. Not messing around here, I’ve been working out with the same trainer for 5 years 
  
 2) 1.5 scoops of protein shake post workout 
  
 3) no meditation/yoga/pranayam because I find it immensely boring  
  
 4) no sugar with tea/coffee. Skip breakfast. 2 rotis and chicken for lunch. 2 rotis dal and chicken for dinner. I’m a south Indian so rice once in a while is a must  
  
 5) full day fast once a month  
  
 Now I have a decent body and super proud of it  
  
 Good luck homie

Is it common now to work 9x6 hours/week?
I’ll be pursuing a course simultaneously, should I incorporate according to that or search for 5 day work week?
Can you list companies working 5 days/week?

The past few years have been a real eye-opener for workplace mental health. The pandemic pushed a lot of companies to take a hard look at how they support their employees' wellbeing. 

Now that we're adapting to a new normal, I've been wondering how things have changed. 
In my own experience, I've noticed more open conversations about mental health at work, but I'm curious about what others are seeing.

How has your company's approach to mental health support evolved in recent years? What resources or programs have employees found most beneficial?

How has your workplace stepped up its mental health game since the pandemic?

How many companies still have 6 days working? I am in robotics/manufacturing in MSME, I have a 6 day Workweek, is it a general trend in manufacturing or general trend in MSME?
