Well that sounds like something management would be more than willing to accommodate... That is, only paying you for those 2h a day instead of 8...

I think the more important thing is that the remaining "buffering" time is still necessary to extract that amount of productivity.

In the context of tech-based work, If pay is based on productivity, then those two hours should be paid the same as 8.

I think tech companies are realising that it's paying for performance that matters; not paying by time. In many cases paying by time doesn't make sense. If you have an idea in the shower, does that count as working? If you going for a walk prompts a better idea, does that count as working?

I would gladly take a 20% pay cut to switch to a 4 day work week. Not many companies are offering that though.

Some companies are offering a 4 day week with 0% drop in salary https://4dayweek.io/
