While I’m already very much an advocate for paying my team what why’re worth, the recent shifts with remote work has put extreme pressure on companies to meet salary expectations in much larger markets.

I have an employee who needed a 33% increase due to market pressures. While we were going to already meet 15% of that at his next annual, budgets didn’t easily allow for the other 18.

Instead, he got a significant raise and a 4-day week to boot. He’s happy. I’m happy. And, frankly, we don’t see any productivity loss.

It is absolutely possible.

Love this! From every 4 day week company I've spoke to, they all say the same thing:

Output hasn't changed

And if this ever becomes a company wide policy (e.g. 4 days for 100% or 80% salary), please let me know :)
