[quote=Anonymous]The part-time schedules would be great because I always feel guilty that I'm not spending enough time with my child during the week.  But at the same time, I don't want to be one of those employees who becomes marginalized because of a PT schedule.  I like my job and I work hard when I'm at work; I don't want to be one of those people who can't make it to a meeting at a certain time because of his/her schedule.  I'm by no means a workaholic (I work a standard 40 hours/week), but I like working full-time and contributing 100%.  However, I wish there were more hours in the day so I could also have more time at home.....

I guess this is just an example of how you can't have it all.  Or maybe it's an example of how workplaces don't make it easy for PT employees?  Maybe I wouldn't have this fear of being the "slacker" PT worker if those schedules were more accepted.  Although I have a feeling, PT workers (at least in an office environment) will never be seen as equal (or proportionate) contributors.  Maybe you just have to learn to be okay with that?[/quote]
