Yeah that is the neoliberal spin on the 4 day work week, the same hours but shifted to give a day off. You sadly see a lot of people fight for this instead of for a real 4 day work with less hours but same wage.

I mean, joke's still on them.

Chaining me to an office desk for an extra two hours won't make me any more productive.

My thoughts too - people who thought that up should be really detached from reality to expect people to be productive after 8th hour.

It's been this way for a long time in some places. I'm in the U.S, long history of factory work, every single one pushed the "4 DAY WORK WEEK IS GREAT!" Every single one was a standard 10(normally actually 12 including daily O.T).

honestly everything but the lunch break feels detached from reality as it is, there should at the very least be a 10 minute break every hour
