I am a manager in Europe too and would (and have) offered people 3 and 4 days a week, for 60%/80% pay, as well. I think it's a good deal for the company, I mean people are tired on Fridays and tend not to do much, so if you can pay them 80% for their good days, and make them happier and more loyal as a result, I think it's a good deal. That's fine when I've run my own companies, but when working for others, even when I'm the manager and supposedly have final say, it's been very difficult to convince higher-ups. There's a feeling if they only want to work 4 days a week they must want to slack off, or not really "love" the company enough. A stupid attitude imho.
