I work for a big tech company that started doing 4 day workweek during COVID. They basically tracked JIRA tickets closed and found a huge spike in those as well as developers reporting burnout. Higher-ups figured this could be a blanket solution. Currently our setup is Wednesdays are not 'on-call'. Its being handled in a sort of "at your team's discretion" fashion to give you an idea of how strictly its being enforced and the style of implementation. That aside, I love it. Possibly essential for a wfh environment. Burnout is real on an all code in your room schedule. It also gives me incentive to push on a project Tuesday night so I can sleep in Wednesday mornings. Projects that require a ton of communication take a hit (mid conversation Wednesdays go ghost), but I believe actual developer productivity goes up. Also I never lag on house chores or errands which is a massive boon to my mental health. So all in all. Why not? It makes everyone happier and isn't a huge blow to output. My team has released some massive projects in the last year with extremely tight deadlines, so I imagine if it's not possible at your company, your entire situation is unhealthy.
