My company works a four-day week, and it's excellent. Note that the transition from five to four days has the most pleasure impact (+50% weekend) for the least work cost (-20% work). The next two transitions – 4->3 and 3->2 – would be a lot harder. But I'd love to make it to three days a week, when you work fewer days than you relax.

I'd really love to hear more details about what your company did and how they did it:
* What size is the company?
* Who proposed the change?
* Were people resistant to the idea? Which people? How were they persuaded otherwise?
* What differences are noticeable about the company now? Productivity? General happiness in the office?
* Any advice for people wishing to follow in your footsteps?
