I'd take a 50% pay cut but in exchange I would only work 2.5 days a week or 4 hours days. That would give me some extra time during the nice summer months.
That is infact what my company did, and I think it was a very good idea. We ALL (managment included) took 20% pay cuts for the 4th quarter, we then got to take 1 day (eyther monday or friday) off every week. In hard times unfortunate things need to happen, but it was much better than cutting more programers, and we are now close to being profitable. So it all worked out in the end
