It won't get you days off because you (rather, your employer) will fall behind those who didn't opt to take days off.

You'd only get days off if it was only you who got a 10x increase. But it's everybody. So it's status quo: technology advances, and you have to keep up if you want to stay in the industry.

I don’t believe this is true. Or that more hours worked reliably translates to serious competitive advantage, in general.

But your point stands, because many (or most) employers think it does, and employees are usually incentivized to support that notion.

40 hours work week wasn’t always the case and yet here we are.
