I once negotiated instead of a raise, I would rather work four days for the same pay, and it got approved. That was a fun day :)

Not in the same job anymore, but maybe that is something people could try, reduce from 100% to 90% with the same pay and then to 80% over like 2-3 years.

sounds like a good idea to me.

i wonder if a 4-day work week would actually be attractive to employers, especially if they could take a cut (back) of salary.

maybe even something like....it's a 20% work time cut, so maybe for that, i'll need to give you %30 of my salary, which is a lot.

but if some of the studies are to be believed, then productivity can go up with a shorter work week, so salary should actually be _increasing_.

but...you got to get the deal done. so...
