[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys with the flexible high paying jobs: you have to know you are in a privileged minority. Read the news. There are countless articles about how employers expect more and more hours and on-time from their employees.[/quote]

I disagree.  There are also articles about how more and more employers allow telework.  I have friends across numerous industries and all of them have some sort of flexibility.  My husband had a senior level high paying job and even for him it’s completely acceptable to leave the office at 5 to help with dinner/kids and then he logs back on at 8 to finish up any work.

Okay that is probably part of the disconnect. You think leaving at 5 and logging back on at 8 is flexible and not long hours. I would call that leaving at a normal (not “flexible”) time and working a lot of hours.[/quote]

There is no disconnect.  I am the one with the flexible job.  The point was that even my husband with a senior and higher paying job can leave the office at 5.  [/quote]
