**************************************************************

	I was wondering if there were any engineers who are successfully
(or not) Job-sharing at Digital and what their experiences have been.
How did you go about requesting this from your management?  How did
you find a person to job-share with?  Is it working?

Thanks.

119.1Engineering job share39675::MONEYThu May 21 1992 15:0321
    
    
    I recently returned to work after the birth of our third child.  I had
    been working 30 hours a week prior to Simon's birth, but decided that 
    20 hours would be a better schedule for our family this time around.
    
    I requested to share a job with another engineer who was also returning
    after maternity leave.  Because our job codes are different. the
    sharing of an actual job turned out not to be the best fit, but our
    management agreed to each of us working on that same project for 20
    hours each.  We overlap one day a week, which is when the project
    meetings are, and talk by phone or mail if the task so necessitates.
    
    There are no written policies on part time work, or job sharing for
    that matter.  It is, as far as I can tell, up to the disgression of the
    individual manager.  Our requests were worked with three levels of
    management and personnel.
    
    I would be happy to talk further if you wish.

119.2JOB SHARE OPPORTUNITY IN MERRIMACK, NHTIGEMS::FINGERHOODWed Oct 07 1992 15:3327
    There will be an admin secretary job share position available the
    first of January in Merrimack, NH (MKO1).
    
    I will be going on maternity leave with my second child this 
    Thursday, October 8.  When I return to work in January, my job
    will become a job share.  I will be working Monday, Tuesday, and
    Wednesday mornings (20 hours per week).
    
    The other half of this job is classified as an R12 which has
    minimal benefits.  However, the right candidate can expect to
    work a minimum of 20 hours a week (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday,
    and Friday).
    
    This is an ideal position for someone who wants a 20 hour work
    week and does not require benefits.
    
    The position is in the Digital Leasing group, supporting five
    marketing professionals.  I've worked for this group for 3+
    years.  It's a great group.
    
    My maternity leave starts October 8, so if you would like more
    information on this position, please send mail off-line to my
    manager - Mike Kelley @MKO or TIGEMS::KELLEY.  Either he or I
    will be in touch with you to talk about the details of this
    opportunity.
