[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does family friendly really mean? Please be specific.[/quote]

I'm 11:10. To me, it means being able to WFH when needed (i.e., DC is home sick, dr's appointment, need to be at school for a class event, etc). Flexibility in hours - work 7 hours on client site, finish the last at home after DC goes to bed, good maternity leave policy. My company also has on-site daycare in some locations, which a lot of people like. It's not subsidized though - pretty expensive but high quality.[/quote]

For me it means being able to work more than 8 hours at the office one day and less on other days to make up your 40. I don't even drean of taking work home. It means taking a day off for a sick child is not secretly frowned upon so you argue with your spouse as to which one of your employers will give you a harder time or later penalize you in promotions. It means generous vacations that you can actually use. Long time ago at biglaw I didn't even use up all my vacation days I had accrued because I didn't want to come across as a slacker. I an now with the federal govt but my childless boss doesn't necessarily approve your flex time requests or other leave you have earned already without being a tad difficult. [/quote]
