Evidence suggests that having more time off increases productivity. And let's be honest, most people working 40+ hours/w are not working at 100% all the time. So one possibility is to slightly increase the working time (say by 1h) for each of the four days. That loses you half a day for work, but the increased productivity takes care of the balance. The caveat is that only works for businesses that are charging for output rather than time.

"Evidence suggests" there must be a limit, after which more time off reduces productivity, yes? If your boss gives you 168 hours off per week, you won't be at maximum productivity. Instead of a generalized statement which can't possibly be true in all circumstances, perhaps your argument would have more merit if you could accurately identify the inflection point.
