From what I've heard of working at Amazon, this sounds like most likely you are expected to still put in the standard 80hrs/week, just cram it into Mo-Thurs (or maybe Sat-Thurs).

I find it reallllly hard to trust Amazon when it comes to working less. This really just sounds like a way to get someone to work the same amount for less pay (I assume the position has a paycut).

In other words, when the janky build tools someone wrote >10 years ago break down, you're going to be on-call so much that you'll just run a landline into the back of your head, Matrix style.
