I worked a 4 day week (although technically 33h in 4 days for a 4/37 reduction in base salary) for ~10 years. All for work/life balance due to having a young kid. Two days in the office, two days from home. Generally it worked ok but not being around one day a week did cause some annoying situations - but that's partly because I moved into a different role that had more responsibility (and that was their doing). I think I made an exception for a meeting on my day off once or twice in all that time, and that was just to make my life easier, everything else was batted back with a flat "no" which was understood after an initial period of grumbling. Now that child is older I don't need as much flexibility and so I moved company to go full time again. Work life balance is still good thanks to it being a fully remote role.
