Four-Day Work Week

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. A work arrangement in which people work four days instead of five, either with reduced total hours or compressed schedules. In workplace culture the concept is often discussed as a test of productivity, wellbeing, and whether knowledge work can be structured more intentionally.

    In plain English: A work schedule based on four workdays instead of five.

    Example: "The pilot four-day work week succeeded only because the team also reduced meetings and stopped pretending five days of chaos could fit cleanly into four."
