If not then how much 80%, 50%, even less? Answering that already just makes me want to avoid opening up part time positions.
Unless you just change the whole work day to 4 hours (gl with that), having some employees work double what others are just sounds like a headache to me.
- Delk 6y agoIt's not necessarily an impossible idea to live okay with 80% of a salary, especially a tech one. (Unless you live someplace really expensive, perhaps, but Silicon Valley isn't the only place with tech jobs.) I don't really know what would be so uncomfortable about that that you'd want to avoid it altogether. As to whether it should be the same as someone else doing either hours... that shouldn't depend on the number of hours but on how much and how valuable work they get done. You probably don't pay exactly the same to everyone even at 100%. Seriously, I used to do ~30-hour weeks for a while. Got paid accordingly. Of course I'd like the total salary to reflect the fact that I was still fairly productive, but I still don't see what the problem there would be as long as I was happy and the employer was happy. Both apparently were.
