[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than asking to formally cut back or go to a 4-day per week schedule, you could invoke intermittent FMLA, assuming your employer is relatively large. [/quote] This! That’s what I do.[/quote] I did exactly what OP proposes -- 32 hours/week. My boss actually suggested using FMLA leave, and they approved it as a reduced schedule leave (not intermittent.) I did it for 3-4 years. No unintended consequences, but it did slow my advancement there. It picked up afterwards again, so it didn't kill my career -- but I'm also a guy, and so maybe not subject to the same mommy-track assumptions. [/quote]
