In my experience it's not generally so easy, depending on your employer though. Some allow blanket 80%/75%/50% jobs for others it's hard work to persuade them to let you scale down your hours. Can't say how common it is, I obv. have a limited set of past employers to look at. Some friends have said their company doesn't do it, and when I talked to Swiss people it seems a lot more common there.
