My current job is doing 4 days 8 hours because the boss read an article saying it increases productivity.

So, his opinion is that we should be more productive in 4 days than we are in 5. I do enjoy the 3 day weekends, but I have to admit that I don't like the immense pressure of the shortened week.

Can you just work less hard in the four days and then work on the fifth off day? It seems like that schedule should give you more options about how to work, but not require you to work the compressed schedule.

What metrics are being used to quantify/measure this?
