For a lot of these jobs, no one really works for 4 hours non-stop, then lunch, then another 4 hours non-stop. They take breaks, get distracted, play on their phones, chat with coworkers, etc.
People are actually more productive during a shorter work week, so the same amount of work gets done, but psychologically it doesn’t seem like more work.
Do you have the same load of work with less work time?
