Ask HN: Any US companies who offer less than 40 hour weeks
11 by mooreds | 2 comments on Hacker News.
This came up on a slack of which I'm a member. I've heard of some companies here and there who have less than 40 hour weeks for their entire staff (googling for them reveals a few). And I know individuals who have been at a company who have done it for a short time or a while. But is there a list of US based companies that offer a 4 day work week or less? I did some googling and didn't find much.

Are LinkedIn's affiliates looking at this data? Who are they sharing it with? I'm hoping to publicize this enough that someone at LinkedIn takes notice.
