A company I worked for had a policy that you could work for 30 hours at a reduced salary and still get full benefits. I'm sure there are others out there. I think in the US, 30 hours minimum might be the norm to be eligible for benefits.
I've also heard of companies that encourage taking time off when you don't feel like working. I thought that was common in Germany? I had friends who worked at SAP 15 years ago who could take random days off because they didn't feel like going to work.
I wouldn't say it's encouraged, but I can definitely (and have done a few times) decide on Wednesday that I don't want to work on Friday and my single day off request like that would be approved. But this doesn't create any extra days off, it just uses up my current paid holiday allowance of 25 days a year.
So far I really enjoy having a team I see face to face everyday in a comfortable office. I find it way easier to motivate myself to work in such a setting. But I don't rule out trying remote work at some point :). Yes, in web development. Thanks for the info!

I see. Are you looking to do Web Development work in this sort of a setting? Why don't you want to consider consulting or remote jobs?
I know that ElasticSearch is pretty flexible and so is Zapier and Auth0.
