Hi everyone
Super excited to share this project which I have been working on for the last 12 months :) https://4dayweek.io is a job board listing software jobs with a 4 day work week (i.e. 32 hours with no drop in salary)
In 1926, Henry Ford introduced the 5 day work week in his Motor Factories - maybe it's time for a refactor?
Nowadays we look down on the working conditions of employees during the industrial revolution - I believe humanity will have the same reflection in 100 years about the 9 to 5.
The advantages of the 4 day work week are numerous:
- More job applications
- Increased Productivity
- Improved employee health and happiness
- Improved staff retention
- It’s better for the environment
- Staff are off sick less
- Applications from more Experienced Candidates
- Reduced costs
- Improved gender equality

p.s. I quit my full time job as a data scientist last week to go full time on this project so wish me luck 😅 or follow along as I build in public https://twitter.com/philostar
@philostar this is literally something we all should do. We are all here because we cannot stand 9-5 for 5 days straight. Hands down this is best I’ve seen today
Report
@philostar I truly hope this and similar initiatives gain a lot of traction, and eventually contribute to 4-day work weeks getting established by law in countries around the world 🧡
@yogeshdhakal Hahah not quite yet (as I'm still working a full time job) but hopefully next year when I leave! 😅
Report
Just this morning I was thinking of how to build something like this. Nice to see you've already done it @philostar ! Any plans to expand beyond just software jobs?
Report
Seems to be a quite useful for many developers. In my country it would be alike a rev ) Do you plan to expand 4dayweek to cover Russia ?
