[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that folks say it’s easier for women than men to adjust schedules.  My husband has been adjusting for years, and everyone just thinks he’s the most awesome involved dad, helping out his wife.  My changes have led to my being mommy-tracked.  He’s now a senior VP at a Fortune 50 company and reschedules all the time for kid stuff.  Of course, when he travels or meets with the CEO, I cover!
In other words, we’re both in there swinging every day and we both think the other person’s job is important![/quote]

This. In my experience men were always applauded for being the "best" dads and family men [b](assuming they still got their work done)[/b]. However, if a woman tried to leave early due to family obligations she would be looked down on and mommy-tracked, even if she was outperforming the guys.  It's definitely more of a career killer for women then men.

And, yes, if either person has a conflicting meeting with the CEO, the other spouse should step up that day (whichever spouse it is).[/quote]

Most professional level jobs will include regular occurrence of meetings after 3pm, which would constitute getting working done.

If he's some kind of data processor and has few meetings and never advances, sure?

It's 2024. Hybrid work environments work well for this. Plenty of people rush out for pick up and then get back online. You act like it's 1980 and work stops if you're away from your desk. [/quote]

Depends on your job. My job I am in the office every day 830 am to 530 pm and after 530 pm I go home and be me my family. I say 99 percent of my company works that way. [/quote]
