It's negotiation. If you only ask for what companies are happy to give you you'll get paid less than you're worth, and you'll never get additional benefits (like part-time) that are possible.
Hiring is hard. If you're a good candidate some companies (not all) will consider it.
Personal experience: I've worked less than full time for years now. None of my coworkers have been pissed off about it. Some companies have hired me.
And if my coworkers ask for part-time work, good for them. In practice this usually results in people being more productive.
- techsin101 8y agoWhat's your experience like
- itamarst 8y ago1. Worked as contractor 25 hours a week. Got offers to become employee by some clients, took one up on it. Kept working 25 hours, but over years went up to ~32 hours. 2. Negotiated 35 hour work week at next job. 3. Negotiated 35 hour work week at job after that. Person in link above has been doing this for 15 years, I think he typically does 32 hours or 4 days a week.
