I suspect there are many reasons, but probably employers for full time employees don't really benefit much from this. Your team overhead scales quite a bit by doing this (more hiring, more onboarding, more communication needed) with not much benefit to output. I'd assume that due to FTE benefits, the business would want more like a 60-70% decrease in wage to keep per-employee profitability at the same level.
On the flip side, those same businesses always have need for contractors, and those can often be negotiated as part time
- solarmist 5y agoI think this hits the nail on the head. Benefits are binary rather than scaling with the position. You can’t get 1/2 time healthcare coverage or the like. I think the team overhead could be an issue, but I think it’s less than what it’s made out to be. Most people don’t want to work half time. (For many reasons. The largest being culture at this point.)
