> I think it's wrong to claim anyone advocating a 4-day workweek must necessarily believe a company will have higher productivity.
The experiment being discussed here literally sets workers the target of achieving the same output as they previously managed in 5 days.
Sure, some people prefer 4 day weeks and happily take a pay cut in return and some people want government intervention to give them a better deal, but - unlike the 5 day week - there is an explicit productivity claim by many 4 day week advocates being assessed here
