Please, we need to say X-hour-week, as a four-day workweek can still be 4 10h days in a week or even more.
The aim is the reduction of work-time, not the restructuring of those hours.
Why We Need a Four-Day Workweek.

Yep, and that 4x10 nonsense happens every damn time.
32hr workweek, as a transitionary period towards a 24hr workweek. Dead serious.
No more billionaires, or even hundred millionaires for that matter.

Honestly I’d be happy with the same hours but an extra day off.
An 8 hour work day consumes most of the time around it as well.

I used to work four 10-hour days. HATED it. lol

Why? Because schools are all moving to 4 day school weeks. The opposition to this is parents trying to find daycare for their kids on Fridays.
GOP: “If everyone could switch to 4 day school weeks, the teachers could get 20% pay cuts and we could give out tax cuts!”
(Never mind the fact that Friday is the day teachers fill out paperwork for the individual learning plans that EVERY CHILD now has. Not ‘works toward designing them’ or ‘helping students in anyway’, Friday is JUST for the paperwork surrounding it.)

And if we had 4-day workweeks, they would lose yet another day to do that.
So unfortunately, due to the workload of teachers, 4-day work weeks don’t work for us.

But how will billionaires outdo each other’s penis rockets and virtual reality failure spaces if we cut back our hours? Will no one think of the poor billionaires?

I think about them all the time. Mostly about different recipes and if they got fat where they sat or if they are like grain fed fattened geese with tasty livers and how much effort it would take to drain the ketamine from their system and if field dressing would take care of it or the cooking process.
