I don't disagree but 100:80:100 has also stuff like this: > Certain teams/divisions were unable to fully (or partially) participate in the trial as a result. Others found themselves working compressed working hours (10 hours in 4 days) as opposed to reduced working hours. Managers, across all levels, seem to find it particularly difficult to reduce their working hours, as one respondent says, ‘the work just doesn’t stop’. > At times, this concern was connected with a reported perception of ‘variable behavioural change’ whereby some employees improved their workplace behaviours while others ‘took it as a gift and didn’t change’.

Even if some workers stay the same and some improve their behavior, that would overall be an increase in productivity which seems to line up with what most companies report after running these types of trials. Organizationally, you care more about total output than any one individual. If you have good managers you can trust them to address the individual variances if and when they see fit. 32 hours a week would be great but I'd even be thrilled to have the opportunity for 4x10 instead of 5x8.
