Part Time Celebration

This episode dives into the real history of "part-time" and "full-time," where those definitions came from, and why the 40-hour week was invented to protect workers, not to prove their worth. I share data on physician work hours, disability and part-time practice, and why cutting back is one of the most effective retention strategies we have, yet still isn't celebrated. And I read you a poem, Part-Time Celebration, written for anyone who is considering cutting back and needs a cheerleader to nudge them in that direction. The podcast is going part time!! See you in TWO weeks :)
