4-10s is common in heavy industry. Same number of hours, but you get a lot more weekend and weekends with stats are even better.

I've worked such a work week, and would heartily endorse it.

As someone working in IT, this sounds horrible for productivity. I can barely remain productive for a full eight hours, longer days would exacerbate the problem.

Probably better to have 5-6 for me. Almost the same as 4-8 but you cut only the least productive hours so it's more efficient.

Agree. 8 hours is a struggle. You get 5 hours of serious focused attention from me...then I lose steam and half heartedly answer questions and fight to keep my eyes open and focused or zone out in a meeting. But the 5 hours I do is laps around my coworkers and solid friggin work. Also to note I work remote and it's the only reason my 5 hours is so fruitful.

10 hours would be a nightmare.
