Has anyone worked for a company that did not have a part time or work from home option and prepared a proposal for some kind of alternative schedule? Did your employer grant your request?
I am an engineer and could do much of my job functions remotely, but I work for a utility company with an "old school" culture.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
Re: PT or WFH proposal?
I agree with the pp.
My case is a little different because I proposed a temprary p/t schedule for 8 mos (until DD turns one). I prepared a memo explaining the benefits, timeframes, daily schedule, how I would address all items in my work plan, and travel. Flexibility is key. They first approved 6 months with the possibility of an extension. I just got the approval for the extension. I have adjusted my schedule many times to meet deadlines or attend meetings. I also travel. They have appreciated the flexibility.
