If you're indispensable, you should ask for a raise, not a pay cut.
- sliverstorm 12y agoA raise and a 3/5ths reduction in expected hours would be one hard sell.
- bshimmin 12y agoI once managed a 50% raise and a reduction to a four day working week, with one of those days remote. I patted myself on the back a lot for achieving that, but I was cheating, a bit, because I went from permanent to contract with the same company. Not very strangely, the reasons that I wanted to leave my permanent position at the company in the first place - terrible, confused, and often obnoxious management - still hurt just as much even on more money and with fewer days. I quit again for good after another three months.

- coldtea 12y agoYou'd be surprised what stupid managers would do. They could just fire him out of spite, and hire 2 people to do his work clumsily but "keep proper hours".
- asdfologist 12y agoThose aren't the kinds of managers you'd want to work for anyway.
