Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
Today’s newsletter is a good one. We’re sharing a guest essay from writer and content marketer Chelsea Tobin about how she negotiated a four-day workweek during the hiring process—and actually got the job. 🤯 I hope it inspires you to rethink what’s “the norm” (the five-day, 40-hour workweek is a totally outdated concept!) and advocate for what you actually need.
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:
Coca-Cola got sued for allegedly excluding men from a women-only networking trip.
ICYMI, Aritzia is expanding its empire.
A vacation is nice. A vacation with up to $1,000 in resort credits? Even nicer.*
💼 Job of the day: Jobstream, a fast-growing creator monetization platform, is hiring remote Brand Ambassadors to share vetted job listings on social media and earn up to $25 per completed application. Sounds like the ideal side hustle to us.*
