We're on 37.5 in our organization, I'd happily switch to a 4 day week, and even our HR staff are pushing for it. Doubt it'll happen though. Most of our roles are becoming increasingly remote-capable, but our employer wants us in person, bums on seats at all times. The reasoning will be a mixture of trust issues, keeping up appearances, and the gigantic amount of money they have in leases of buildings. They've paid for the space, they'll want us making use of it. But as they throw the term "financial crisis" around, force people to absorb work with no compensation, and host stupid fucking condescending workshops where we're asked as managers to "band together" in the face of insurmountable workforce losses... Something has to give.
