My boss always quotet that he is happy if we are able to be 60% efficient. A lot of time is wasted for the morning coffee and some time after lunch break. A 4 hour workday would make me come to work Ready and finish with at max a short break in between. I would say in about 5 hours of constant work I would definitly do more on average than with 8.

Btw I tried 32/h weeks & 3/4/5h days I never did less work in the end than with 8

And you have never thought about how you waste your time?

I mean how long are you doing your morning coffee oO?! Srsly? why do you think that should be working time?

'some time after lunch break'?

It was part of the company culture. Coffee could take a hour or two and was only semi off work.
