There's been lots of research on this before; nearly universally productivity goes up when companies move to a 4 day week.

The problem is that this would lessen corporate control on people because they'd get one extra day off, and that's not acceptable to conservatives. It's the same as with demaning people not work remotely; it's all about power

Yep. People are being pushed back to work in offices even though studies indicate most office workers are more productive when they work from home. I saw someone on Mastodon sum it up as "people are getting paid for attendance" and that's absolutely correct.
