[quote=Anonymous]Both my husband and I have always had flexibility in our hours and that has been the most helpful thing. Of course there are jobs that require one to be physically in place during set hours. But many jobs don't and forcing workers to be there just for face-time is ridiculous. What keeps me in a job I don't otherwise love is that if the school calls and tells me that my kid just threw up, I can almost always leave right away, and if I'm busy my husband can go (or vice versa.) I can step away for an hour for a dental appointment or take a few hours out of the day to chaperone a field trip or attend a school meeting, and work longer into the evening. Etc. If you otherwise like your job and they seem open to working with you, that is what i would ask for. [/quote]
