What do u think my boss will say if i take 10% paycut to work from home one day a week?

seafood10 asked:


here is the scenerio…i make about $60k/year plus bonus. im an IT guy for a financial/technology consultant firm. business been slow and they have been laying off some consultants and not-essential office staffs(marketing guy and recruiters).

i have been with the company since sept. 2007. im not that busy maybe like couple of hrs of work each day. i support about 60-70 ppl. and i always wanting to work from home. so what do u think if i tell my boss if im willing to take a 10% paycut to work at home one day a week? what do u think he would say?

my boss like to save money and always ask me what we can do to save the company money etc. but he also is a tough boss. he likes to work long hour in the office. he comes in 8:30am and work till sometimes 7 or 8 pm at nite.

so if i ask him this, do u think he will get offended and fire me? or not give me a bonus or a salary raise? what is the worst that can come of this? maybe he thinks im making too much?
btw…i dont mind taking a 10% pay cut..i still can survive with the paycut…and this is in nyc if it helps. also would u think my boss will think im lazy if i ask him this?

    Well if he likes to save money and he needs to cut back on man hours at work it sounds like it would be a good idea, but if you will be doing the same amount of work I wouldn’t start with 10% I would start at 2 or 3 % and let him raise it if he feels the need to. If you will be doing work for his busines at home and you will be more effective than I wouldnt take any pay cut i would just ask him if I could do it. I dont think he can fire you for bringing a new suggestion to him, you arent demanding anything just requesting some personal time, offer a plan in which you are able to accomplish just as much and present it to him, make sure it is well thought out.

    Actually, as a business owner that is not a bad idea, but you can expect your Boss to also make a cut in your benefits package if you have one. Also make sure that your boss does not require that you have to put in a certain number of hours, you will probably be monitored on your production and the quality of your work. If your preformance falls off you will probably be terminated, so think before you leap.

    If I were your boss,I’d ask ” what day do you want to work at home?”
    It appears, ,if cutting costs is that essential. the job you save may be your own.
    The worst thing is, he’ll say “no.”

    In my own financial services career, as a sponsor of many IT projects, many of “my IT” people could work from another location via remote access. So we know it can be done.

    Whether it is acceptable to your organization’s corporate culture is the issue. The trend is favoring more towards working at home a few days a week, it cut costs and bosses like that.

    As a financial services executive, I recommend checking out. They can make the difference, sound career advice and they will answer your specific questions.
    Good Luck.
