Yeah that is the neoliberal spin on the 4 day work week, the same hours but shifted to give a day off. You sadly see a lot of people fight for this instead of for a real 4 day work with less hours but same wage.
It’s been this way for a long time in some places. I’m in the U.S, long history of factory work, every single one pushed the “4 DAY WORK WEEK IS GREAT!” Every single one was a standard 10(normally actually 12 including daily O.T).
Problem is staffing. Sure you can be 4 days on, but you’ll have to find coverage for that 5th day and some places can’t run 4 days a week. Like hospitals, police force, firefighters, etc.
So great yes, let’s have 4 day work weeks, but we need humans trained in these services before.

I mean, joke’s still on them.
Chaining me to an office desk for an extra two hours won’t make me any more productive.

honestly everything but the lunch break feels detached from reality as it is, there should at the very least be a 10 minute break every hour
