Yea, constructive dismissal is a thing and some courts may determine that you have to pay out severance after somebody has their pay cut and then leaves.

A company-wide paycut of only 10% is unlikely to be considered "constructive dismissal" esp. if in lieu of layoffs.

If you, specifically, were given a 40% paycut, or maybe limited to just your team, that's a different story.
