I've been running businesses that work a 4-day week since 2007. Two of those businesses were acquired (one in 2008 and one in 2011).

I'd say that's pretty good proof that it's not just sustainable, it's also very smart.



I keep forgetting that SV operates under completely different definitions than the rest of the business world. I don't mean offense by that, it's just the truth.

You started a business in 2007 using a 4 day work week and it was acquired in 2008? That's not evidence of sustainability. Smart? Yes, apparently. But is that business still using a 4 day week?


We're not based in SV. I live in the UK and the rest of the Team is spread around the US with our main office in Orlando.

Yes, the acquired company still runs a 4-day week.
