#WorkLifeBalance #StartupCulture #SanFrancisco #EmployeeWellness
Hey everyone! Have you heard about the San Francisco startup that’s making waves by mandating a six-day workweek? 😳 While we all know the hustle that comes with building a successful business, it’s important to also prioritize our mental and physical well-being.
Here are a few possible solutions to consider:
– Implement flexible work hours or remote work options to allow for a better work-life balance
– Encourage regular breaks throughout the day to prevent burnout
– Provide mental health resources and support for employees
– Consider implementing a four-day workweek with longer work hours to give employees more time off
What do you all think about this issue? How do you prioritize work-life balance in your own life? Let’s spark a discussion and share some valuable insights! 💬✨
This is unfortunately very common already in many industries. The enshitification of American society continues, trashing reasonable working standards that our predecessors fought and literally died to secure for us. All in a downward race to rip off employees and maximize profit margins at any cost.
Wayyy more common that people think. I worked 7 days a week for years. “Oh but you can’t do that “ blah blah blah. There are ways and it’s still common.
The reality is that this will just result in a less efficient form of work happening, but the narcissistic CEOs will ignore that and pat themselves on the back for being “different”. I’m sure the employees give this the “butts in seats” treatment, as good creative or mental work just cannot be forced out this way. Like, as a rare exception to finish up project, putting in that last bit of effort can make a lot of sense (and is normally more menial and thoughtless work to just polish something up). But as a standard week, this will lead to worse quality products.
So if the avg CEO is making 400X more than the avg worker, is this CEO also working 24/7?
Sadly, in this tech job market I’ll agree to a six day work week if it means I get an offer. Been looking for a full time role since getting laid off last November.
Screw this. That pay package is garbage for SF.
If they want to have 6 day work week, they better pay like investment banking.
