On: Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan. Productivity jumped 40%

I joined around 2010, the transition was in full swing at that time. Microsoft seemed like a much more aggressive work environment in the 90s/2000s. Around when I joined I didn't know anyone who got to senior without sleeping in their office for a few weeks getting their feature out. By the time I left that was unheard of.

But everything is relative to which org and even which team your on. Windows vs Office are going to be completely different as will Azure.
