[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fed employee here.  Very Family Friendly.  In the office 1 day per week - telework 4.  Flex hours (now I work 8-4:30- will adjust when my son hits school so I can be off work at 3:30 when he gets home).  Have to use sick/annual leave for maternity leave- but no big deal- did 12 weeks. Now 0 a little over a year later- have 6 weeks already saved up again (we didn't take a vacation this past summer- just took a few days off here and there).  My boss is the kind that believes family comes first - and with regard to telework and everything else- his stance is - I am an adult and I know what needs to be done.  If I wasn't getting my work done or if there were issues- it might be different.  [/quote]

Amazing! 4 days? Are you with the VA?[/quote]

No.  USDA.[/quote]

we need to do a roll call between agencies. I switched in the spring to a highly regarded agency (or so I thought!), not flexible at all. I did everything in my power to understand their telework or flexible time schedules before getting hired (I was recruited). HR just kept repeating that it was manager dependent. Apparently ALL their managers hate it. If I come to work 10 minutes late, it makes everyone antsy and uncomfortable. Previously when I was 10 minutes early or 10 minutes late, I just adjusted my end time by that much. I'm just frustrated by the lack of official policy. Oh and if Obama talks one more time about maternity leave I will scream. He's technically my boss's boss's boss. Stop talking about maternity leave for others if you don't provide your own employees it. Hypocritical.
