WHEN Kathy Siever, an event planner, was laid off earlier this year after nearly 15 years with GE Capital, it helped that the company gave her a month's notice -- enough time for her and her husband, David, to work out a plan for both of them to use their Rowayton home as their new joint workplace. Mr. Siever, 65, had already laid claim to the basement, where he runs an investment banking business that raises capital for clean and renewable energy projects. So his wife, 58, settled on a spare bedroom on the second floor, which she set up as an office with new furniture, and began working on her own business plan. Having the middle floor between them is ideal, so they are not in each other's face -- or space -- all day, they said. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
