And you don't spend 100% of your days off not working.

The worker interviewed in the article said, "Also being on call can be a challenge, but it's nothing that's not fixable."

I understand that to mean that he's not truly working a 4-day week. He's working 4 days + on-call day(s) at times.

We operate a five-nines service in a 4-day work week. That requires at least one person always being connected.

But culturally, it also encourages a lot of automation, redundancy, and conservative DevOps decisions.
