[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the problems that people are facing with childcare and the stress of it. I understand this because I, along with many of us, have been there, done that. My kids are teens. When they were little and I was at a law firm and DH was (and still is for now) a fed, there were zero telework options. We were both in the office full time, all the time.

This situation now may seem unique and insurmountable. It is neither of those things. It is hard, though. And you’ll make it work.[/quote]

DP.  Agree. It is hard. 12 hour days in daycare. It is the reason we only had one child.  [b]But parents of young kids today never expected to go back in time like this. [/b] [/quote]

Maybe not to this extreme but they absolutely should have planned to have childcare.[/quote]
They did!!!! It is just structured around different assumptions. These are reasonable assumptions based on the trends of the last 10+ years. Not just COVID. It is utterly stupidity to have people FT in offices when the work they do spans the country and internationally. It costs more in RE and drives unnecessary congestion and environmental impact. People who cannot grasp this are either incredibly spiteful or stupid or both.[/quote]

My office has a meeting with colleagues on the other side of the world very early in the morning next week. Management graciously allowed us to telework exclusively for the meeting, then come into the office at the peak of rush hour traffic for the rest our hours. LOL. I decided I will just take the call from the office and leave early that day. [/quote]
