From personal experience: one employer offered a 5x8 week for better "work/life balance".
My local manager saw that and said, essentially, "oh, so you can work 8hr days. We need you in on Saturday too."
I mean... I see what you're saying and agree with the problem of some management mentality, but I don't know that I completely agree with this conclusion. A manager will get as much out of an employee as the employee will allow. The form of the work week doesn't make a boss better/worse.
