[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how was the week for everyone - besides the spring breakers?

Horrible? Can you keep doing it as long as you need to - like you get a new job, get old enough for a VERA etc? Anyone thinking of just quitting w no job? Or was it NBD?[/quote]

I’ve been in for a month+ by now. It’s not great, but let’s not pretend it’s horrific either.

And no, I am not kidless and/or living in NOMA.  I have one elementary school and one middle and have nearly an hour commute.

People need to keep some perspective here.[/quote]

+1. I thought it was fine too. I'm not saying it was soooo great or that I'd rather RTO than telework. But IDK it was doable and yes I have a commute too; kids are older so that likely makes it easier as they were still at activities when I got home daily and they are old enough that they do not want mom and dad at every practice anyway so I didn't feel like I missed anything.[/quote]

I wouldn’t say it was no dig deal.  I can do this for now. I have kids, two elementary.  Finding care for longer hours with such short notice was a challenge and we had to cobble together coverage. We don’t always make sports practices that are earlier in the day like we used to.  That may change for the next school year and beyond as we pivot to other things that work for our schedule.

Ask me again in 6 months, or a year and I might feel differently about whether it will drive me to look elsewhere. It is a slog. I also think it is a benefit that set us apart from private industry, especially now that so many are doing RTO.  If RTO stays for the long haul, that might make it harder to compete for talent when we finally do hire at some point someday.  [/quote]

lol on competing with private industry. Why on earth would anyone ever choose this over private industry again? Ever. Less pay, equivalent job security, less flexibility, less respect, etc.

And if things ever went back to normal, it could be taken away again anytime in 30 days. [/quote]
