> A lot of us will take more than a 20% pay cut in return for that day.
Can't agree with you on this one, losing that money would meaningfully limit what I could do with my new-found free time. While I totally agree that a 4-day week would make a lot of folks respond to a recruiter's email, I think the vast majority would balk at the pay cut.
For a lot of us, it wouldn't be a paycut. We're already on the bottom of the salary range. It'd be pure upside for me. I think there's room for both models to exist. But I can't imagine not being envious of the guy that has 3 days off a week. Keep your 20%, I could die next year and want to feel good while I'm here.
