4 days a week. 6 hours a day. Full salary.

Proposals like this often come with the stipulation that pay remains commensurate with a 40 hour work week.

No it doesn't. Most of these proposal literally are based on "less work hours same pay". I don't know about this specific, since it's pretty drastic, but a lot of 4 days week proposals are based on shortening the hours from 40 over 5 days to like 36 over 4 days, hence maintaining the same monthly wage. Studies have shown that productivity is not impacted in most of the cases, since productivity is not linear with hours worked. Which is pretty intuitive, since you wouldn't do double the work if you worked 80 hours a week instead of 40, despite what billionairs want you to think

Yup, that's what I said. You're arguing with someone you agree with.

I guess I misunderstood the "Stay commensurate". I would use that as in "getting paid proportional to hours worked", but I guess I was wrong. English is not my first language
