Compensation Vs Time [modified]

I could drop to 60% (??? IIRC think this is the benefits cutoff level) any time I wanted yet I still work full time.

Would you take half your salary to work half the hours you currently do? I actually get jealous when I see government workers forced to take furlough days (unpaid time off). I'm going to clarify, my rationale is that it is nearly impossible to make the move to consulting or teaching while still being employed full-time, but I would never want to leave my position completely because of both the pay and experience it provides.

I would certainly divide my salary by half to work half the hours I currently do... but your proposition is crazy! ...unless I also apply for the part-time job that gets advertised as a result :)
If my jokes make me laugh, then I have already succeeded with 100% of my target audience

During the crisis we where forced to take each friday off for 9 months, but we still got 90% of our pay. The company I work for is what i think could be called a heavy industri, so the major savings where on having the factories closed for a day. I wouldn't mid to have that again, work 80% (fridays off) and still get 90% of my salary (the extra 10% on the top is mostly taken by taxes). But to work 50% and get 50% payment, no I wouldnt'. But to actually cut back one day a week and get 80% of what I'm paid today would be good.

No.

I take it that money doesn't mean very much to you? Possibly nice to be that way but I've found the lack of it exacerbates problems that appear quite trivial when you have at least enough.

I don't borrow and I'm quite the anti-consumerist so it's not a big issue. I live like I did in college. For me it would be about having the time to pursue some ideas.

I guess I would kind of look at it as an advance on retirement income. I live well within my means, I put funds away for retirement, medical or employment emergencies. I would like to keep adding to them. Although I’d take unpaid time off over unemployment.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I wouldn't, but I am a government worker.
They have changed us.

So technically, I have that all the time. Holidays suck unless I have something planned.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

one in five days off for the respective amount less = yes.

Furlong? You mean furlough! :) Some people in my office had to take some furlough last year. A couple of days a month I think. I'd have liked to do that for a while. Couldn't do anything drastic like 1/2 the time though.

What kind of company lets you do that?

I work for a contractor and I couldn't do it instantly, if I talked to my manager and HR and said I only wanted to work part time they'd make it happen. Several of my cow-orkers are doing so. Probably the main delay would be needing to shuffle people around so that projects I'm working on don't suddenly find themselves understaffed.

A day (measures time) isn't the same type of measurement as a furlong (measures distance).

Have you ever tried asking people how much was enough? A (semi-?) recent study concluded that even millionaires usually "feel financially insecure, and would need about 1/3rd more to feel secure".
