A 4-day workweek would be lovely if monthly salaries stayed the same (= hourly wages went up). Then I could work three days a week and get 75% of a full-time salary instead of just 60%, which would be kind of like a 25% raise. That’d leave me with so much more time to be silly :3
There are several ways it’s presented. But anything other than four 8-hour days with the same salary is just trying to pander to the rich people to make it more appealing to them. I personally would feel pretty terrible having to work 10 hours a day, and it would negate the positives of having an extra day off. It’d work for some people but it wouldn’t be a real win for the working class as it would be the same number of working hours even though productivity has skyrocketed in the previous decades

I think the 4 day work week is generally presented as 10 hour days.
