Yeah this came up in the Q&A of the video as well. I think if you are 1) a high performer and 2) not working for a mega-corp, you probably have a lot more negotiating power than you realize. Having been on the other end of some of those conversations, as a manager/executive if your options are to either to let someone take Friday's off and cut their salary by 20% or potentially lose them entirely to another job, it's pretty clear that it's better to take 4 days from them. Hiring is still one of the biggest problems companies face, and most would rather retain good people than force them out.
