1) It's fantastic you've done this. This sort of thing would make me crazy about my employer.
2) "We certainly haven’t made up for the lost day in measurable improvements or efficiencies"
Maybe that's OK? Humans have tons of stuff already (at least in the rich world), and most of the things that are expensive are going to stay that way because we create false scarcities to soak up any extra income (housing, mostly).
I suppose that's why we need controls to level the playing field, or else the company willing to push workers for another day will lower the bar for everyone.
