[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 with people in different time zones and my unavailabity has been raised as an issue. 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] Oh man, I feel this, OP. When my son was little I worked for an international org and had similar issues. I did some combo of holding firm, making clear my afrerhours availability to overseas colleagues (setting aside some time when necessary), and eventually finding another job. [/quote]
