Tech companies, though now going through widespread layoffs and budget-crunches, have long tested the boundaries of the work week.
When it comes to how many days per week you work, more may not be merrier. Overwhelmingly positive results from a recent pilot study out of the United Kingdom have reignited calls for cutting off the fifth day of the standard work week.

The test run included 3,000 employees across 61 companies and was organized by the advocacy group 4 Day Week Global, along with supporting research teams.
