With the approval of their bosses, they came up with a solution: sharing one management job and salary. Bowler, 32, and Michaels Metzner, 34, were a good match because both worked in strategic planning and analysis. Michaels Metzner now comes in seven hours a day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and Bowler , works a similar schedule on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The overlap day allows them to coordinate their work...
