Kind of a shame that yet another one of the few startups pushing for a four day work week turns out to be run by incompetents (Treehouse), and another founder who challenges the VC establishment turns out to be a two-faced charlatan (Basecamp).

4 day week is simply a PR effort. I have been following the company on LinkedIn and even the current CEO put out "words of wisdom" and he likes them himself.. weird

Not to derail this thread but what’s two faced and charlatan about JF/DHH? Or are you referring to someone else?
Pretty sure this is referring to the situation last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27000945

Seconded. It’s surprising to hear Basecamp referred to in such a manner. Did something happen?

The whole brouhaha that led to a mass exodus. I don’t know the specifics, but to alienate such a substantial amount of a workforce after decades of pontificating on the proper way to build company culture shows that the wisdom they were hocking ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
