[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a valuable employee with specialized skills and are difficult to replace, they should be willing compromise in order to keep you. I went back after my DS was born at 60% (3 days per week) instead of full time and also now work from home 2 of those 3 days. DS goes to a nanny share.

I presented my boss with the projects I thought I could continue to work on and tasks that I thought could be passed off to other employees, who happened to be needing additional billable hours.  It worked out, but I was also prepared to work on whatever they wanted me to as my side of the compromise.

Truthfully, they knew I could afford to stay home (DS is in big law) and would walk if they only gave me the option of full time.

I love working part-time but I have given up the opportunity for promotion and will likely go longer than usual before getting my next raise. I'm OK with all of that.

Good luck, OP![/quote]

Whoops, DH is in big law, not DS :)[/quote]
