You know that workers will just piss away the extra two hours a day and then take Friday’s off.

I mean, I and most of my colleagues did that when my employer had 4 day work weeks during the summer. Instead of “summer hours” we called it “some of the hours”.

For an employer the fix is simple: Each year fire the 10,20,30% least productive employees.

European countries do not have at-will employment, you cannot just fire people around without a clear justification and first trying to resolve the issue with the employee.
