we went 4 days in june. here's what actually happened, not the linkedin version. revenue: flat. genuinely flat. not up not down. q3 was on plan. output: shipped same number of features. fewer experiments tho - we cut the speculative stuff first. meetings: dropped 40%. this is the real win. we killed every recurring meeting that didn't have a clear owner. hiring: way easier. candidates self-select hard for this. attrition: zero senior departures since we announced it. we had 2 the quarter before. the bad: customer support coverage got weird on fridays for the first month, we had to build a rotation. and a couple of people quietly work fridays anyway which i don't love but i'm not gonna police it. would we go back? no.
