In the Netherlands (where I'm from) I know loads of people on 4 day workweeks. It's often an option, and there's very few drawbacks for employee and employer.

The 20% paycut is pre-tax, so the real cut is a lot lower. It also lets employers hire a 5th person for every 4 80%s, so total productivity is likely higher due to people being happier, and there's more jobs total. It's hard for me to imagine why tech companies wouldn't want to offer this to all their employees.
