[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to a lot of audit and consulting work and the happiest by far company for working moms I ever did work at and had longest tenured employees had a strict zero WFH policy. Zero Flex Time on start and end dates, assigned lunch hours and an assigned break. With only a max of 10 minutes a day personal calls allowed during work hours. No internet on work computer and no personal cell phone use at desk. In emergency you get call on work phone.

The women I say that as it was literally 95 percent Moms loved it. Had choice of 7-3pm or 7:30 to 3:30pm.

Most women picked 7am it forced husband to chip in an make breakfast and gets kids on bus. Mom just got up showered and left. Mom
Then got home in time around kids getting off bus.

Mom had time ever day doctors appoints, dentists, sports for kids. Work outside office hours prohibited. There was no home access to work systems.

Work was very productive no chatting, politics and ran like a clock. Bosses would be written up if staff stayed late. The boss would tell everyone five minutes before me time to pack up, get coats. I recall area I was auditing they literally pulled push me out door a 3:35 pm and door locked a d lights out.

What it showed me it is not WFH people want it Is consistency. Yes they have sick days, maternity leave. Personal days. But ZERO half days no coming in late. They are even had Floaters assigned to cover your job when you were on vacation.

I was shocked. I never saw another company do this.

It was a 7.45 hour day in office. They worked 6 hour and 45 minutes a day. [/quote]

Sure sure.  No working mother has EVER wanted any kind of flexibility.  Right.  Great research you did there![/quote]

Actually all the Moms Did. It was in the suburbs most Moms lived 15 minutes from office. And was professional business jobs. The deadline to send wires do settlement is 3 pm and usually need to be in system by 2pm. They worked on exceptions and client issues in morning.

I did the work one summer was heaven. I be at the pool in the hotel nearby at 3:40 pm, then by 5pm changed for happy hour. And on Fridays in summer I see people headed out to beach house at 3pm straight from work. In winter women went to supermarket on lunch break. They had a great subsidized cafeteria.

Today I have a lot of women staff with kids and all 100 percent remote. I think they rather be out of house. All their husbands work in person and they are stuck double duty at home.

People don’t want to admit the ideal job is like a 15 minute commute, own office, subsidized cafeteria, perks, my last in person job I could leave anytime and run errands. My old job so close I still go over there for lunch sometimes!
