[quote=Anonymous]I really considered going part-time, but at my federal agency, they would only do 64 hours or less. I wanted to do 70 hours, but they wouldn't let me. The other things that I had to weigh: in a RIF, part-timers go into a pool with other part-timers. At my agency, there are only 6 part-timers and I would be the most junior, meaning I would almost be assured of losing my job. Maybe in a more robust time with federal budgets not being in jeopardy, it was a chance I might have taken, but not in today's climate. Also, my agency would give away my FTE and I would have to compete for an open position should I ever have wanted to go back full-time. I think all of this is agency-specific b/c I know other feds who don't have the same restrictions. In the end, I decided against it, but I did do a lot of research up front before I proposed it to my boss (who would've said yes).[/quote]
