Any advice on how to approach your Google manager about turning your role into 60% part-time (3 days/week)? I know there is business need for role, so would be hit to the team, but I’m feeling burn out hard and don’t see how I can last much longer. Figure it would be better to go part time than leave altogether, but can’t really say that to my manager. Any way to explore this without blowing everything up?

I’m a manager (non-Google but tech) and would prefer someone on my team take a month off to recuperate and then come back properly healthy.

SE1 No, there are mental health leaves of absence, sabbaticals, etc. Google surely has options for employees who are struggling.

I've seen people at 60%, but few....
Frame the conversation in the value to the team/project/yourself/whatever else and make it a collaborative conversation rather than jumping to "can I go 60%"?
Example convo framework:
I'm looking at our goals for the next year. I've contributed X (positive). I'm recognizing Y (negative, burned out). I know Z is important and I want to do my best to contribute to that. I've thought about A,B,C, and so far I think B is the best for Z and the team long term. What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions?

like

"the 4 hour work week" has a lot of examples of these conversations

But also, Google does value flexibility (in my experience). I wouldn't underestimate your manager's ability to help you realize a good arrangement that maybe you hadn't thought of, help you squeeze out extra time off, etc

In speaking with our contacts at the quant, I can say unequivocally that this position does not exist.

While the 'bait and switch" is not a new tactic, please be wary.
