Would you accept a 30% income reduction to help your employer be more profitable?

Impossible to answer without more information/context.

If I have my dream job, and it's a super rare job, and I'm incredibly overpaid already, and it's guaranteed my employer will cease to exist unless I take a 30% pay cut, and doing that would stabilize the company's situation ensuring the perennity of my job, the answer is "yes, in a heartbeat".

If I have a very expendable job, where my conditions are already so mediocre that I was already considering quitting anyway to find something better, the answer is "absolutely no way".

For a situation somewhere in the middle of those extremes, I'd have to weight the pros and cons more specifically.
