[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt kids and commute is real issue. Years ago we had kids and commutes.

At my current job we want to take everyone including family to a nationals game after work on a weekday. We pay for tickets, food drinks and people can expenses parking or metro. My old company did this on a Saturday in 2004 and was a big hit. All the families went tons of fun.

This year in 2025 HR got questions is this mandatory. We had to write in big letters voluntary event. Then since we WFH three days a week people ask does this count as an in person day. So we had to make it count as in person. Then we couldn’t even get everyone to RSVP yes or no. Will be last time we do it. Kinda sad.

Kids and commute is a real issue. We want to work and be done with work, especially working moms. [/quote]

Except the game is after the school year ends. 100 percent of company can “work from home” meaning a free goof off day basically for anyone going.  Then just drive to game and can bring husband and kids. Everything is paid for. So no excuse other than don’t want to go, which is fine. We even pay uber or metro. And we have a bus from office parking lot if folks want to do that.

I am sleeping in late that day, then checking email, doing some chores and leaving for game at 4 pm. Hardly stressful. This is why companies stop doing nice things. [/quote]
