>My fear is that if you’re being productive 20 hours and unproductive 20 hours a week and the work week is reduced, how do we know you won’t just end up being productive 10 hours and unproductive 20.

Unless you are a cashier or some other customer service position, the time you spend working should be matter very little compared to your output.

If you a job that takes you 20 hours, you can either do it in 20 hours and get a huge chunk of your life back, or you can do it in 40 hours and spend a lot of time chatting with your coworkers making them unproductive.

It's up to management to understand how much time it takes to complete tasks and to staff accordingly.
