[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A middle schooler can be dropped off somewhere in walking distance, and get themselves to school.  No need to pay for before care.[/quote]

Where did I say I had a middle schooler?  It’s a kinder![/quote]

So, you want the company to pay for you to "work" but you will be fixing breakfast and getting your 5 year old on a bus?

Yeah, you'd be so fired if you work for me.[/quote]

I’m salaried. I don’t work hourly. My core hours are 10-3.

You are a peach. [/quote]

If it's established that you work 10-3, can't you just decline an 8 AM? I work with lots of flexible work arrangement salaried folks who list their hours in their signatures, and they've negotiated that limited schedule. That is, they've told the company they're only going to work X hours, and took the requisite pay cut to account for that. Plenty of companies are perfectly willing to accommodate limited schedules as long as the understanding is clear so your pay is appropriate to the number of hours you actually plan to work. On the other hand, if you haven't negotiated that, it is not out of bounds for the company to expect you to be available when they say.[/quote]

Are you not familiar with core hours?  I don’t just work 10-3, but those are the required hours; we can work our hours around that. I’m sure I can squall about 8am not working but wanted to know if I was unreasonable [/quote]
