Want a four-day workweek? Good luck finding a company offering one

The four-day debate also provides a window into the disconnect between what employees are looking for in the workplace and what managers are willing to offer, exposing fault lines on topics such as the efficacy of remote work, employee benefits and salary increases at a time of rampant inflation.

For companies that are trying out some variation of a four-day workweek, flexibility and feedback are key. Cisco’s test began earlier this year with employees in its human-resources department, and includes two eight-week phases. One phase includes working 10-hour days, four days a week, and the second phase included getting every other Friday off. Cisco will then scour data and poll employees to see which approach worked better.

“Our people are ready to try new and different things,” she said in an interview last month. “I think with these new ways of working, it’s all about trying to figure out how you make it work with everything else you have going on in your life.”

Companies would have us working 18 hour days for pennies if they weren’t compelled by law.
