[quote=Anonymous]I do drop offs and pick ups since I'm a single dad. My kids are in daycare right by my office, so I usually walk in the door right before 8 and leave at 5:15 sharp. I am a fairly senior level person at my company and people understand my situation (widower whose wife passed away while working here), which is a reason why this flexibility works. I have my calendar blocked in red from 5-8 so no meetings can take place. I open it up at 8 and sometimes take calls (usually with the West Coast office). I also let my direct reports do the same thing. We all have kids and I think it's the fair thing to do. Unless there's a crisis (in which case I still get the kids but park them in a corner in my office with I-pads until the emergency is dealt with). The downside is of course that I work for a few hours right before the kids go to bed. But I am thankful that the schedule lets me get by without having to pay a nanny to pick the kids up and make them dinner.[/quote]
