Bugsnax developer switching to permanent four day work week
0‘Bugsnax’ developer Young Horses is switching permanently to a four-day work week.
According to an Axios report, the developers trialled a four-day work week model back in July in an attempt to create a healthier work-life balance for its employees.
Now, the eight-person studio will permanently change to a four-day work week following the trial and Young Horses co-founder and president Phil Tibitoski says the shift was easier for them due to the team’s size.
He told Axios: “It was easier for us to implement because to measure our small team's output is simple relative to those bigger studios, so our trial period and decision-making is faster than a studio who has to get buy-in from so many departments and investors."
Tibitoski also revealed that he thinks a four-day work week is possible at larger studios, “but you have to have buy-in from the top and their goals/processes/expectations have to be adapted to support the change."
