[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suck it up and work halloween. The night hours I would create some boundaries around. But sounds like it is a one time thing. Going forward just make clear when you can work. [/quote] In the long run, it sounds like it's better for your family for you to have stable, PT, flexible work than for you to be there on this one particular Halloween. Same goes for not seeing them for 48 hours: they'll live. Plenty of parents travel a lot, and while I'm not saying that's a great thing, missing one bedtime is, in the grand scheme of things, NBD. All that said, establishing clear boundaries is important. I'd go this time, and then make clear in the future that evening hours won't work for you (if they truly won't). I am ALL about flexible work, but I also think employees need to give a little here and there, too. Fostering good will goes both ways.[/quote]
