[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How available are you for work after hours? Do you immediately respond to work queries while you're at home and if yes how do you balance this with being a fully present parent? I am a working mom and struggling with this. I am generally never available outside of working hours as I have a toddler who needs my full attention. I work for a global organization[b] with people in different time zones and my unavailabity has been raised as an issue.[/b] I love my job but I'm not sure how I feel about this - I see it as an intrusion into my personal family time. [/quote] So, what was the solution for this? Did you agree to be available 24/7? Maybe turn on the auto out of office email reply that you're not availalbe from 5pm to 10pm EST. What did your boss say about being constantly available? Can you delegate to others once you leave the office? [/quote]
