I reduced my work hours (and salary) to 80% and had been taking Fridays off to help more with kids, online learning etc. during the pandemic. It’s been about a year and my wife and I agreed that this schedule works much better for our family, but money was getting a little tight. I had noticed though that I’d been putting in extra hours here and there when needed to stay on top of things and even though I was off Friday I was working closer to 85% my typical schedule. I emailed my boss and explained how this new schedule is working really well for our family and I’d like to stay on it long term, but that I was hoping to increase my salary to 85% as that’s more inline with what I’m actually working (even though I’m off every Friday) His full response: “It’s no problem” no…
