[00:03.04] Conversation 1 So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, don't you?
[00:10.09] Yes.
[00:11.09] We're shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.
[00:15.57] Well, how do you divide up your schedule?
[00:19.51] You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone.
[00:25.46] When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday.
[00:32.22] I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday.
[00:37.56] The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday.
[00:41.50] I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question.
[00:47.21] But Arthur couldn't answer the question and he couldn't ask me about it because I wasn't in the office.
[00:54.07] So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday.
[00:59.23] Of course, they didn't like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.
[01:04.45] Yes, that sounds like a problem.
[01:08.00] So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons.
[01:16.11] Now if someone calls with the question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon.
[01:23.38] This way, people get their questions answered the same day.
[01:28.15] What do you do about vacations?
[01:31.39] Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week.
[01:41.42] It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you.
[01:45.00] Yes, it has.
[01:46.34] We are both happy with it.
