doing their work in three days… clocking 35hrs
I know a couple of people on these sorts of arrangements. For example, in the civil service you can choose to cram 5 days' hours into 4 and take an extra day off a week.
Even though the maths makes sense, somehow four 10 hour days doesn't feel of the same value to the team as five 8 hour ones. Particularly WFH, where the extra 2 hours Mon-Thu can be spent walking the dog in the morning or cooking dinner in the evening.

I work 10days in 9. So every other Friday off. Full time, so “compressed” hours. It was that or a nervous breakdown and long term sick leave!
The people I know cramming into 3days… this isn’t an arrangement, they’re just putting in too many* daily hours because they’re not working smart, and then barely showing for the remainder of the week.
*11/12hr days are anything but efficient; they shouldn’t be a regular thing.

I think you misunderstood. 5pm is the time from when you start claiming TOIL. :-D
It does depend on the job and the headcount, I agree that in small organisations you’d muck in more. You’d also probably expect to see a more generous share of any profits…
The people in my example, doing their work in three days… they’re still clocking 35hrs.
