Compensation through stocks applies to a tiny proportion of workers in the US, and a miniscule proportion elsewhere.

And to a substantial portion of the tech workers in the Bay Area.

Right, but I thought we were discussing a broad cultural shift to a 4-day working week, rather than only for some chosen ones in SV :)

As an aside, it would be interesting to know what proportion of HN users was actually based in SV; I imagine many times fewer than those who are not.
