>I'm not sure I follow here. You want 75% of the salary to do the same amount of work? That doesn't really make sense to me.
They want 75% of the salary to do the same amount of work... and then go home.

Auto mechanics have this figured out -- we (developers) should be able to as well. They get paid a certain amount for a certain job (say, 3 hours for a brake job on a certain model of car). If they can do it faster/more efficiently, they still get paid the same amount even if they work fewer hours.
This is far less applicable to an auto mechanic who simply has to replace a part with another stock part and let a customer walk away with it the same day.
That said in agile you have a definition of done so at least you can agree as a team when the job is done and then it's like the car mechanic example
