      It doesn’t mean anything to be more or less productive doing more or less hours.

      They see it this way: if you are 100% effective for 30 hours and then 20% effective for the other 10 hours, that’s still overall more than if you would just do the 30 hours.

      There was a joke post (I hope) about some CEO giving people a 4 day work week and productivity went up. They then cancelled the 4 day work week because “imagine what they could do with 5 days”, using the experiment as a baseline for producitivity.
