While I absolutely support allowing employees to spend a day a week on self-improvement, even if I were willing to consider those hours not work hours, it'd still be 32 hours.

I think it's because 30 supposedly sounds/looks better than 32. 32 is 4x8 after all, so I imagine many "30h jobs" would turn out to be 32h.

Example: https://wildbit.com/blog/2017/10/19/4-day-work-week-update (also found a job offer by this company on the board).

That's not any more of a "30 hours job" than Google with its freaky fridays.
