I work exactly as this article describes, but 25 hours per week.
It feels like I am doing the productive 25 hours of a 37 hour work week. I log my hours pretty accurately, which I think makes it a better deal for my employer - no commuting, nothing social, and I'm picking the most productive hours for me. I've also got some freedom to switch between tasks (writing, coding, it's largely only teaching needs me to stick to appointments).
It absolutely feels like work fitting around my life (kids, gym, family visits) rather than the other way round.
I work some (even most) evenings, but only because I like to take bits of the day "off".
I agree this would be a horrible encroaching way to work for an employer who expects tHE exTRa MiLe, but those guys are horrible to work for already.

- danielheath 4y agoMy team (4 devs) does this (<25h a week / fully flexible/async). Some people need structure. It's a terrible arrangement for them. Some people need training & mentorship. It's a terrible arrangement for them, too. For experienced staff who are comfortable working with minimal support & direction, it's been the Best Thing Ever. Not everything suits everyone, and that's okay.
