Answer 1

Answer:

difficulty in finding compatible partners.

Explanation:

Job sharing or work sharing is a practice in an organisation where 2 people are engaged on a part time basis to perform a task that will normally be given to one person working full time. This results in lower per employee income because all positions are shared.

For example an employer can hire two workers to work for 3 days in a week, achieve the job of a full time staff working a full week, and still turn in the finished work early.

A drawback to this arrangement will be difficulty in finding compatible partners.
