Default Re: Why am I not allowed to work part-time?

Because benefits and facilities (desk, computer, phone) for 2 part time employees cost more than benefits for 1 full time employee.

Also, it is more management overhead to supervise 2 part time employees.

The opposite is true in some fields (retail) where the company does not provide many benefits or facilities for employees and managers prefer the flexibility of multiple people per "job" so they are not dependent on one employee.

Not saying this is right...
