The drive to work more sounds like a good idea on its face however as someone who has tried that tactic I can tell you it won’t rapidly take an impact on your mental health. You will not be rewarded for your extra output but be reprimanded anytime the stress makes you perform subpar.
From my experience 32 hours is works best for me and will allow me to maintain my highest output. Additional hours after that will actually lower my output overall in the long run.
The other reason it’s not a good idea is because when one person does it it becomes the expectation every time you give an employer free time you weaken the bargaining power of your peers and you may see it as rewards for your efforts but I guarantee that we all lose in the end, you will get paid less than what you deserve you will get less free time than you deserve for your efforts. Capitalism only rewards shareholders.
