> it's more a question of time So, given we're talking about employers offering flexibility, how about allowing people to take a longer lunch break so they can

  Many employers allow that already, i’d be surprised if all the companies that self selected into this experiment didn’t already have the facility for an employee to arrange this. It’s not the same thing though. It’s avoiding the pressure to crush wasteful time in the working day (think 30 person zoom meetings that consist of 2 people talking and 28 people quietly doing emails). This pressure is unavoidable with the typical “100 per cent pay, for 80 per cent of the time, while maintaining 100 per cent productivity” 4 day approach.

  Many professional / salaried roles would be fine with that. I get in early, only take 10 minutes at lunch but then I head home at 3-4PM to miss rush. Sometimes I log back in from home and do more hours (especially if there is a problem), sometimes I leave even earlier and don't, sometimes I WFH on a Friday and spend 3 hours in the middle of the day getting the train out to my parents for a long weekend then the afternoon is half heartedly watching emails while drinking coffee with my parents. At the end of the day as long as I'm not inconveniencing colleagues then it comes down to does my output make me worth my salary.
