You're being sold "work less hours, get paid the same". In actual fact:
> “With many businesses struggling to afford 10% inflation pay rises, we’re starting to see increasing evidence that a four-day week with no loss of pay is being offered as an alternative solution.”
When compared to inflation, you'll get paid less. It says 10%, but wages have been frozen for years.
Worse still, you will still be expected to achieve the same amount in less time. The only difference is that they will expect your most productive hours without also paying for your less productive hours.
_You_ may be in a position to take a 20% pay cut, but as they mention, they want this to become the norm for everybody. As the cost of living increases less and less will be in this position.

That's only going to get worse; we act now or workers will have too little money to mount any sort of opposition.
