The four-day-a-week work pattern is one of the issues currently on the agenda. Finally, in countries such as Finland, where there were proposals to work four days a week instead of five, this was becoming an election promise. One of the first gaming companies to reduce their weekly working days was Bugsnax production team Young Horses. In a statement, the company announced that they are now in this order.
Bugsnax studio goes into working order four days a week
The Young Horses team has moved to a four-day work schedule starting in July, Axios reported. The team of eight employees, together with the advantage of the number, has moved to a new order in order to make the team work more comfortably and efficiently without forcing the workflow. The opening hours are set to be 32 hours a week.
Phil Tibitoski, co-founder and president of Young Horses, said, “We’ve tried to give people an environment where they work more efficiently by doing their own thing in their own time, rather than making them feel guilty for doing different things at work. We know what we have to do and how long, or we’re doing our own program entirely. It was easier for us to implement this functioning because measuring the status of our small team is simpler than in those big studios. We are faster than a studio that has to get support from so many departments and investors,” he said.
It seems like a harder and more arduous job to get into this process in the big studios. However, working efficiently is a much more important phenomenon than spending time. On the other hand, although the company has switched to a four-day working order, it used to have a 35-hour-a-week working schedule. What do you think of the four-day work pattern?
