What if reducing working hours was the key to happiness? For Julien Le Corre, this audacious bet turned into disillusionment. In Day Offhe tells with sincerity and humor how the 4-day week, thought of as a revolution, ended up leading to the downfall of his company. A captivating testimony to rethink our relationship with work.
In 2020, Julien Le Corre, a convinced entrepreneur, implemented a 4-day week in his advertising agency, without salary reduction for his 20 employees. He hoped to improve their well-being, boost productivity and attract new talent. But in the space of eighteen months, the idyll turned into a nightmare: turnover in free fall, lost customers, and team cohesion in pieces. The company is liquidated in 2023, taking its dreams of innovation with it.
In this uncompromising story, Julien Le Corre deciphers the errors that led to this failure and exposes the challenges of a poorly prepared transition. With lucidity, he highlights the pitfalls of the 4-day week and the lessons to learn to avoid sinking your business. More than a simple observation, Day Off is a call for reflection on the limits and opportunities of a work model in full transformation.
Through this experience, the author asks an essential question: does work still have a future as we know it? With humor and self-deprecation, Day Off invites business leaders, employees, and visionaries to rethink the future of work, far from simplistic utopias, but with a real desire to innovate and inspire. An essential book for anyone dreaming of a better balance between personal and professional life.
