Corgi Defends Its 7-Day Workweek as Voluntary
Original: Corgi Says Its 7-Day Workweek Is Voluntary. Experts Say That Answers the Wrong Question
Corgi is facing criticism after defending its seven-day workweek by saying staff participation is voluntary. Workplace experts argue the framing misses the point: in practice, employees may feel pressured to work weekends to keep up with colleagues and advance their careers. Critics say the real question is why the company's culture requires such hours at all, making the debate a flashpoint over startup burnout and work-life balance.
Why now: Ongoing debate over startup work culture and whether 'voluntary' weekend work is really a choice
