[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be so glad come fall when all these whiny teachers (and also all my whiny co-workers) get forced back into the office full time. Free ride is over folks![/quote]

F*** off with this noise. Nobody had a “free ride” this year. Especially not parents OR teachers.

Also, a lot of employers are not requiring their staff to return to the office, ever. We’re probably moving away to a LCOL area due to this new freedom. Sucks to be you, I guess, chained to life so miserable that you want everyone else to be just as miserable. [/quote]

Come on. Plenty of white collar workers did have basically a free ride this year. People have been admitting it all over other forums. [/quote]

Raises her hand. Work has been a joke this year. My company has been great in letting people work from home but no one is actually doing their real job. What we are doing from home is a joke. I am not complaining, I appreciate having a job and being able to pay my bills, but this year has not been a hard one for us. I think most parents in this position have not said much here because there are so many other parents who are not in that position and it would be tone deaf to say this in threads. I love it when I am allowed to go into the building and get real work done, I have been asking to do that as much as possible, because I prefer to feel like I am working for my money then chilling at home.

There are plenty of parents not in that boat. There are plenty of parents who have had to make working from home work. And many of the parents I know in that position bemoan that their bosses think that they should be available for a far larger amount of time because they are a thome and should be reachable. The idea of set hours is pretty much gone.

And some jobs have been understanding about parents needing to flex hours because of kids needing help for virtual learning and other jobs have not been flexible. Meetings are held at the same time and people have to be there.

It has been a mixed bag for parents. I think the number of white collar workers coasting is actually pretty small but we are out there. I don't see the need to raise my hand in a topic where parents are actively trying to make a more demanding job and virtual learning work, it seems tone deaf. [/quote]
