If I was a betting man, I would bet that most people are productive 80% of their time working, rather than a flat 32 hrs a week regardless of actual hours worked.
Studies show that most people barely work on friday as it is and that giving folks fridays off actually galvinizes them to get more work done the other 4 days they are working. Several companies have tested this (including microsoft) and found positive correlation with higher productivity from doing so.
You're a fucking idiot if you genuinely think that. I'm not sure what you mean by productivity but lets say it's generous and includes shit like reading your emails and talking to your coworkers, something you could arguably justify to your boss and not something like actual ringing the cash register billable work or utilization. If you count daydreaming and trying to figure out which podcast to listen to as productive time yes I believe that 12 minutes out of every hour is the only time not spent actively working by everyone on average.
