How much covid relief cash did they get that they’re not paying back?

The 4 day work week probably had zip to do with it, as opposed to Americans cutting back spending on everything during this Democrat inflation insanity.

Seeking to increase one’s prices by reducing production and supply by shortening the work week is bad business strategy

"... tech startup that helped popularize a push for a four-day workweek ..."

Having had a bit of experience in tech startups, I am in a position
to say that a 4 day workweek is NOT how you get a tech startup
off of the ground. Definitely Not. No.

.

It's more like a 90-hour 6 day workweek. (But sometimes 6 1/2 or 7 days)

Yes, yes - go ahead and tell me that 'You must have been doing it wrong' - whatever.

a layoff of this magnitude when this company is supposedly committed to such a large number of products that it has already committed to provide, looks to me like a prelude to total implosion ...

maybe the company will make up for laying off 30% of its employees by moving from four day work weeks to 70 hour work weeks like other silicon valley software startups ...

“...reach profitability with the money we have already raised”

TRANSLATION: The VCs said “NO!” to our requests for another round of funding.

Rather than laying people off, why not just try a three day work week? :)

But can the remaining employees still work 4 day weeks?
