I wrote this article and I'd like to comment on all the angry "I can't believe they won't let me work on Fridays" comments.
We don't have an adversarial relationship with our team. We're not checking every word of the contract and neither are they.
We're all working towards a greater goal and we're all doing what it takes to get there.
If someone wants to do some extra freelance work on a Friday, then we don't hassle them about it. However, if they do that, they're missing the entire point: they're getting paid a full salary, but only having to work 4 days a week for it.
Why not just take Friday off and enjoy it? The whole point is that a good work-life balance is healthy, fun and fulfilling.
If the money isn't good enough (even though we pay well), then maybe it's not the right job for you.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything here.
