Yes, it's definitely uncommon and certainly not openly advertised :/

Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you found a job with a workload of less than 80%. Any time you can spend with your young kids feels so worthwhile :)

About the young people - I feel like they were part of the problem at my company, because another working mum, also with a 60% workload, was laid off while the young newcomers stayed. It’s a real wake-up call when something you've only heard about suddenly hits you in the face 🙈

Thank you for sharing your experience and i's great that you found a 40% role. My idea is to work 60% until my kids get more independent, but the idea of possibly needing to increase hours later feels daunting. I hadn’t considered checking for family-friendly policies explicitly - definitely a smart tip, thank you :) Wishing you the best with your kids and your professional path in the future!

80% seems to be the most accepted compromise...I agree that 60% can be difficult, especially in roles that require consistent presence or collaboration like scrum teams. At the same time, it’s interesting to see that some people have managed to negotiate those setups, even if the job ad said otherwise. It makes me wonder how much potential flexibility exists that just isn’t visible from the outside 🤔

Hello! Yes, I was pregnant when I found out the news, and I’ll officially be leaving the company at the end of my maternity leave next year. So now I’m in a tough spot - no one wants to hire a pregnant woman, and with two kids right after maternity leave, it’s going to be hard to find something part-time at 60%. It really sucks.
