[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fed employee here.  Very Family Friendly.  In the office 1 day per week - telework 4.  Flex hours (now I work 8-4:30- will adjust when my son hits school so I can be off work at 3:30 when he gets home).  Have to use sick/annual leave for maternity leave- but no big deal- did 12 weeks. Now 0 a little over a year later- have 6 weeks already saved up again (we didn't take a vacation this past summer- just took a few days off here and there).  My boss is the kind that believes family comes first - and with regard to telework and everything else- his stance is - I am an adult and I know what needs to be done.  If I wasn't getting my work done or if there were issues- it might be different.  [/quote]

Fed attorney. I am allowed to work a 90% schedule for I work M-Th, 6-3:30 (36hrs) and have Fridays off. I only spend one day a week in the office.  As long as my work is done, my boss does not (unofficially) care about when or how it gets done (so if I take an 1-2 hrs in the middle of the day for a school play, I will often just work from 9-11 that night). I have had 2 babies while in this position and had approx 75% of my 16w leave paid for with sick and vacation.  Because I have Fridays off and a nanny for my younger child, I dont take a lot of other leave. Also bc I work from home, if my 6 y.o. is sick, I can still work while she sleeps or watches tv (this is not true of my 2 y.o.).
