But if my company asked me to take a small paycut or structure my salary in a certain way (with the understanding that I'm basically already set for life with my salary) so they could keep some of my coworkers/friends who also make my job a lot easier vs needing to replace some of them with people I don't know who aren't as good at their jobs...I would probably say yes.

If you've never had a coworker/coworkers you'd take a little less money for so the company could keep both of you then I'm sad about your work experiences. Not you specifically but you the general public. 

Personally, if my company asked me to take a small pay cut to keep my friends on with us with the understanding that my career could end on any given play, I would answer with a flat "No." Now, the structuring, I would at minimum entertain. That could be something that ends with me still getting paid at market value while still allowing my friends to stay. In reality, you will see this from time-to-time in real life. Maybe you were promised a promotion and big raise, but it has to happen in the middle of the year in order to fit within budget constraints so other high performers can also get promoted and stay on. That's no big deal, everyone wins in the end.

A pay cut, though? No. It's a fun topic to talk about, though. Some people would be fine with taking less knowing that they are already making hundreds of millions. Some aren't. I can understand both, but I am in the latter category.
