Absolutely, yes. I'm not sure why more companies don't simply reduce hours in lieu of paying out higher salaries. I'm quite sure many devs would stay at a company if they offered an effective 20-40% raise by offering them a 32 or 24hr workweek. And, to the benefit of the company, my guess is there won't be a big loss in productivity.

Years ago, I was in need of a big a salary adjustment, and I offered to work for 3 days at the same pay, and the owner said yes. We were both very satisfied with this arrangement. He kept me and I was still productive, and I had more time to pursue other interests.
