4 day work weeks are clearly here to stay and a huge quality of life improvement but taking a 20% pay check reduction for it is absurd.

You are doing the same amount of work in less time, not less work. Company goals do not change, nor do their deliverables or expectations of you.

A reduction would only make sense for hourly employees (though I think the hourly rate should go up so the total weekly pay is the same) but if you are being paid full time, it should not matter how much time it takes you to complete your work.

You are paid for your knowledge, skill, and ability to deliver. You are not paid to be working a set amount of hours or days.
