[quote=Anonymous]Hiring lateral employees is a dicey proposition. Maybe works well 20-40% of the time, and involves a lot of upfront investment of time. As long as there's not a recession, most employers would rather keep you at 60% than lose you and have to hire a new employee. Realistically, you'll figure out a way to do 80% of your current workload in 60% of the current time. You'll become more efficient. You'll cut the unnecessary lunches and office cooler talk. That's what happens when women have kids. So most employers would rather keep you and get 80% of the work done, versus fire you and get a new employee who needs to be trained and has a 50% chance of sucking. Understand your worth, and make yourself valuable to your employer under this context. If you don't understand why you're still valuable to an employer at 60%, then I'm not sure it works for you -- because that either means you're not that great of an employee, or you lack confidence.
