If you can do your work week in 4 days without losing productivity, you don't have anywhere near enough responsibilities.

That makes no sense. I have exactly the same responsibilities as before my switch. I also have exactly the same responsibilities as my peers working 5 days. And yet I successfully squeeze those 5 days into 4, and it wasn't even that hard.

Magic? No, modern office work is incredibly ineffective. Most of the day is spent collaborating with almost no part of the day spent on actually doing things.

That's what I'm saying. If you put 5 days of work into 4, you didn't have enough work before the switch.
