[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ And I’m not saying only Feds do this. I know people in remote jobs in private industry too[/quote]

The funny thing is that outside of the early stage of the pandemic, I only know one person IRL that kept a baby home while working (a contractor) and even she admitted it was only possible because her mom/MIL helped out for 2-3 days per week (and once they were 18mo the kid went to daycare).  I definitely know quite a few parents who dropped or scaled back on before/aftercare, some of whom are scrambling becasue some days are full.  But are there really that many parents still WFH and caring for babies/toddlers fulltime?  How is that even functional....[/quote]

I know two couples who are both in remote IC-type roles and swap the baby back and forth in between meetings. I’m guessing they do some work at night to compensate. Not sure what their long term plans are [/quote]

Um, there are very few fully remote IC roles, OP. Unless whatever you think IC means is different than what I think it means.[/quote]

I suspect PP means individual contributor

DH and I did this at the height of the pandemic, we are also individual contributors. It was awful, nobody can do this if they are truly working anything resembling full time. It's true that in these types of roles there can be a lot of downtime because it's all deep work, but caring for a baby is not down time.[/quote]
