I believe this is the future but it will be incredibly hard for startups. Anyone know any that have achieved this other than @bolt?

A six-month trial of the four-day working week has been launched across the UK, with around 30 British companies expected to take part. Staff won't see any change to their pay either. trib.al/y50Jrqg

As part of our commitment to "working in plain sight" and "leaving it better" we've published our paybands publicly and shared exact C-level salaries internally. Let us know if you support the move or if you've been on this journey and have any advice. #GenderPayGap

💰 We're working in 'plain sight' at Lollipop, this includes salaries. Here's a blog from our Co-founder Chris Parsons about why and how we've made this step 👣 What do you think of this approach? Have we got it right or could we improve it? ➡️ blog.lollipopai.com/paying-i…

At Bolt we grew from $400M to $4B in the last 10 months. That's a 10x in 10 months. This wasn’t an accident, but it also wasn’t a given. The shift? We started making EVERY day count. What exactly does that mean? Let's break it down 👇👇👇

This is not something I have shared publicly before, but here goes! This is a story all about how the company we founded 8 years ago was re-birthed during the pandemic. How we turned a Hardware co. into a SaaS co. How revenue went to $0.. To now having over 130 B2B customers

My fav article about tech coverage argues that the media forces a “clock” narrative on companies. It’s true for Silicon Valley, and it’s true for Europe. Here’s where I think European tech companies fall on the clock. Suggestions and comments welcome! wired.com/2015/07/how-the-te…
