How many of you mothers would be interested in a 50% role, or job sharing with another woman? Would you attend an event specifically designed to network with women in advertising/design/tech (CONT)

Hard pass. Nothing I do is at 50% so I’d put in all the work for 100% with half the pay. And I feel this sends the message that a) moms can only handle part-time, and b) dads don’t need to be there for their families as much as moms.

What I need is a team that respects my time as a person and parent, not the opportunity to use my potential half-assed.

I actually had an experience like this. A part-time internship, but I always ended up working 2 hours more (6hs in total) but being payed for 4 hours only. And I agree with what has been said above: it’s gonna discriminate women and moms even more. The company should be understanding of people as human beings and see where they can fit better and in what role instead of offering part-time and end up stressing the person more and paying less.

My biggest concern is boundaries and management- agency life is so demanding, how can you guarantee it’s not just paying half a salary for full-time work? There needs to be information about structure and enforcement, because otherwise it’s just another cost-saving scheme that further deters women from going back to work because of the demands. Separately, instead of calling it a job split, just split it into two completely separate part-time roles and have a very well thought-out structure in place to support it. This is not something that can happen without full agency and client buy-in to respecting the boundaries- and while we are at it, can they also respect the boundaries of full time employees who have families, kids, pets, and other things to do?

I do. I think we have to be more strategic and forward thinking if we are going to lure and retain much needed women's POV and leadership, ideas, intellect in our business. Otherwise we shall never incentivize women and/or parents to stay. I think it's an interesting idea that I've been working through with my team and we'd like to give it a go of trying to put it together. I'd love to talk it over with some of you and hear your thoughts.

I think this could work for the right role and would definitely be interested from a schedule perspective. Unsure if it’s feasible agency side specifically for account management but I’ve done it for business development successfully and also think it could work client side. Would love to stay updated on your findings and opportunities.

Speaking on behalf of only myself and not on behalf of all moms, I would like to return to amore regular work schedule but know full well the demands of agency life and can’t commit to that. It would be naive to think I could do it and still have the flexibility I enjoy now as a freelancer. This program sounds compelling. Would want to see what the pay packages are like, what flexibility is built in and also be reassured it’s not a way to give half a salary.

And meeting with teams who are beginning to implement this 50% job sharing strategy?

Please don’t target only women. Agree with ACD 2 on the message this sends. How about schedule flexibility for everyone? Doesn’t matter if they have kids. People have lives outside of work.

This is a bowl called “Women in advertising”. I will cross post in the general bowl as well, but was curious about how mothers felt about job sharing. Two teachers at my kid’s school did this and I thought it was a super interesting idea. My team agreed, but I would like to get the POV of many of the women in advertising (this bowl) to see what they thought. I believe men & anyone who wishes to work PT should be able to participate.
