> Ignoring any formality, I think most folk work a 2-3 week if they were honest about it.

The real difference maker is if you need to show up to the office or be reachable. I am sure there were weeks where I did 16 hours of work(i.e 2 days) at BigCo but I still showed up to the office 5 days as week. It didn't really matter to me if I was working at the office or just goofing off in the coffee room, I still couldn't go surfing or do something I enjoy.

> if you're working 4 day weeks and you're feeling behind, you may well end up working that 5th day without anyone asking.

If you're behind on a 5 day work week, do you work the weekend? I don't see how this is any different.
