    The employer will see that you “could” be doing more work, since you accomplish everything in 4 hours. “You don’t have enough work to occupy your time”, they’d say in my country.

    That’s why people act busy. Because when you’re efficient, you get punished with more work.

      This is true. My company has afternoons off in the summer (4.5 day work weeks). Basically they acknowledge that no one is doing anything after lunch on a Friday.

      The same amount of actual work gets done. It’s actually more efficient because no one is coming up with useless meetings and busywork.
