promising to maintain 100 percent productivity. So basically you cut out being a Facebook slacker or doing personal admin etc.
I don't really understand what this means in practice, if you are not measurably producing lots of things. 100% presenteeism? A ban on tea breaks? Sounds potentially unhealthy.

It seems to me that all of the chat about 4 day week in this thread is misrepresenting the trial that is happening.
It's same pay, same daily hours (so working 80 percent of what you did before) but promising to maintain 100 percent productivity. So basically you cut out being a Facebook slacker or doing personal admin etc.
Obviously this only applies to a limited subset of job types, but it is my understanding of the trial structure.
