The workplace is about the power relationship between the boss and the worker. Bosses are willing to take the ostensibly less productive option (e.g. 5 instead of 4 day workweeks) to maintain a sense of precarity in their workers that is in the long run more beneficial to them by way of suppressing wages, dissuading job seeking, and making them less likely to stand up for themselves over their conditions.
