I have friends who are fed attorneys who I think work those hours and are GS-14s, so they pull in salaries in the range you cited. They can also work at least 2 days/week from home.

That would require a GS 15 salary in a part time or job share position. Does that ever happen? Usually those are supervisory, right?

Now that I think about it, one of them is a supervisor, I believe. The other one is a lawyer for the NLRB and isn't in a supervisory role, I don't think.

Very strange. Usually agencies don’t allow part time b/c it sacrifices a FTE spot to that part time position, and when they leave you don’t get bumped up to FTE funding — stuck with part time position that may or may not work for many people.

It's not a part time position -- he works full-time for the NLRB, but only works in the office 3 days a week. The other two days he works from home.

I'm a Historic Preservation planner with a local/state government agency. They are strict about us taking leave but we have flexible schedules, telework, good benefits.

I've been here 4+ years and enjoy it, but sometimes its a little boring. I make $85k a year, annual raises and COL increases.

Sorry, though let you were describing the 10am-4pm work schedule! 2 telework days is great and not all that uncommon

Would like jobs like on west coast where it’s very flexible, so telework 2 hours before kids wake, having morning with kids, work in office like 10-4, and then another hour after kids are asleep.

Though it is unclear to me if their hours are limited to 40 per week...

Fed analyst here. At my agency we are not allowed to work weekends at all or after 7 pm without supervisory permission. Only once in 10 years have I requested to work past 7 (and even then the latest allowed is 9 pm) and I’ve only been asked / allowed to work weekends 2-3 times.

Two years ago I went part time (one day a week off) and I telework a few days a week. I’m not allowed to consider being home and working childcare - my children are in fulltime daycare - but it does mean if one is home sick I can work during their naps. My salary is $85k which means adjusted for the hours I work (9-5:45 4 days a week) it’s anout $80k. My agency takes work life balance pretty seriously - I have supervisors who have worked part time, for example - but not all do. Also, it is technically against the law for federal employees to work unpaid hours (like nights / working on vacation) but I know some people do.
