Guilty. If I could switch to a 4 day work week, I'd get the same amount done, but spend a bit less time on Hacker News and other distractions. Hell, let me work a 2 day week and I'd cut out all distractions to finish what was needed.
I will get the same amount of work done for the same amount of salary, given that my employer has obviously already agreed that it is a fair amount to be compensated for the level and quality of my output.
