4 x 9 seems like a good compromise. That said, I'd be shocked if this, or any other kind of permanent 4 day week, became common in my working career. I can see places offering compressed work weeks with 2 Friday off a month, or similar ideas being promoted as perks as companies scramble to recruit. I'm very skeptical we will see it go beyond that anytime soon.

There is zero talk at my employer about a 4 day work week, to my knowledge.

Yeah we need to work, and I'm all for productivity and competitiveness, but a workforce full of stressed out or depressed people isn't great for productivity anyways
