The point is OP can't just roll over and take this.
He really has no option but to suck it up if that is what the company chooses to do so he looses nothing by negotiating something that makes it suck less.
The reduced work week results in the cash savings the company is looking to achieve so they may be receptive to it.
Now if they respond that they need OP 5 days a week then they've established his worth to the organization and he has another way to push back.
That could be a commission rate increase of 5% instead of just 2.
The basic mindset OP should have is, if my compensation is being reduced then "I am investing in the company, what is the benefit / reward to me for doing that?
Never take this stuff lying down.
