[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only times I've ever seen it work are with two women who propose a job share.[/quote]
This. Otherwise where do you think the rest if your work will go?[/quote]

To another company.

Where would it go if she got hit by a bus tomorrow?  I am sure there would be some way that it would get done or clients would deal with not having it done.  [/quote]

They would hire a replacement. Just like if she quit. The work would get done.[/quote]
Yes, if they are down 100% they’ll hire a replacement. But they aren’t just going to say - sure, OP, you can do 50% of your work and the other 50% just won’t get done 🤷🏻‍♀️[/quote]
It would get done somewhere else right?  I don't know what she does, but she is talking about dropping 1/2 of her clients.  If she is a therapist, then 50% of her clients would just go to another agency.  If she is a pediatrician, then 50% of her patients would go to another pediatrician's office.  If she is an attorney, then 50% of her clients would find another law firm to work with.  It's a big city.  I'm sure that the work will still get done.  [/quote]
Oh wow. Where do you work? You clearly don’t understand the business world. No company is going to voluntarily lose revenue to allow OP to work less. It’s easier to replace her. [/quote]

I have a small business with a few employees.  Anyone who is revenue producing would be able to go part time if they took a decrease in salary.  And they can work more if they want to make more.  There is nothing magical about forty hours/wk.

[b]Where do you work that your boss wouldn’t let you drop some of your clients to decrease to part time, [/b]and would rather fire you and find someone new.  If they were worried about losing revenue, wouldn’t they worry that your clients would follow you somewhere that would allow PT work?  [/quote]
The real world. Not your little MLM business. Show me a Fortune 500 company that would be ok with losing clients? [/quote]

What do you think an MLM is, exactly?  Do you think it’s shorthand for any business that isn’t a Fortune 500?  So, if you take your dog to the vet, do you think that’s an MLM?
