[quote=Anonymous]I work from home one day a week. It is a sanity saver. Every week I relish the ability to sleep in a little and dress down. They also tend to be busier days, for whatever reason, but it's so much more relaxed being home. If your work is doable from home, I would recommend this. But I also know a lot of people have aversions to WFH because they think it means you'll be goofing around. Emails and calls to show you're around and busy are helpful to fight that perception.

I would not recommend the reduced schedule and reduced pay unless you truly think it would be honored by the management. I have seen too many part-time mom workers who end up with a full-time workload in the end with the part-time pay. It's like the "part-time" status just affords them flexibility with the hours, but they are pulling just as much if not more of a workload than other full-timers. Unless the job is really easily quantifiable and cut-off-able, I would caution that it's hard to remain truly part time. (I'm talking about reduced schedule, like 80%, not 50% or less where the workload capacity is more clear)
