that's called part-time and where I live (Germany) it's your right as an employee to do it.
I currently work 34h/week at Microsoft, fridays off. Instead of 40h/week 5day week.
I threw in 2 extra hours per week because you end up checking your mails, going on a late night call w/ PST colleagues regularly anyways.
Worst thing is to tell yourself you work 30h/week and get payed for it and then end up working 35-38 hours.
- lnsru 6y agoThere is no right for sure, just Microsoft is big enough and friendly to allow such model. Big Corp I work for was extremely hostile towards my intention to reduce work hours to 32 weekly. After European HQ intervention it happened, I made some enemies during the process. And when third of the group left this company I was forced to do 40 hours again.

There are many conditions and practically impossible in smaller companies.
