What did the company get for the 10 hour work day, except feeling they somehow made you "pay" for your day off?
I really doubt a 10 hour work day is more productive than an 8 hour day for most people. You're tired by the end of the day anyway.

I started working ~1.5hrs early in the morning just so I could get my coffee/hackernews routine out of the way and really get my head in to the work, then by the time stand-ups and meetings start I'm ready for a break and helping my team. Do an extra 30min at the end of the day wrapping things up and there's your extra two hours being used productively.
I'm actually already working this schedule (5 days/week) due to lack of senior staff at the company, I just want to formalise it and get Mondays off...
If I was purely coding my own tasks all day I would probably not get as much use out of the extra time, but my work is varied enough now that it's not an issue.
