Lip service. Like with vacation days in Japan, they offer it but the social stigma of actually taking it will mean no one will.

Is it a reduced work week, or a semi-mandatory 4-10s where they're expected to work longer hours each day to get the friday off?

edit: details were in the replies. It's actually way worse than I thought:
Bit misleading. Comes with a 20% pay cut, only applies if you have children, doesn't apply to contract workers. It's also Japan, and the fact it's optional tends to mean if you take it you can say bye to any kind of promotion, raise or career progression.

The way I interpreted that is employees can opt in/out of the program on a per-month basis. So if you had vacation planned in June you could go to a 4-day work week in June and then resume your regular work week in July.

I believe California was looking into this as well and making the work week 32 hours anything more is overtime. Which I'm all in for.

You know youd think this would mean less hours in this corporate hellscape but this corporate hellscape understaffs the fuck out of us so i dont think theyd be able to afford a cutback on hrs xd
