[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flexibility is better for everyone involved, including employers. However I do not think it helps the dialogue when people are complaining violently about having to be in the office 9 to 5. It just sounds whiny. You either need to do it or find a new job. Acting like being in the office 9 to 5 is some great affront, is just feeding the narrative of entitled workers.[/quote] The problem for most people isn't the 9-5, it's the 7-9 and 5-7 commute, including the half an hour just trying to get into and out of the building. Also, this was sprung on us with four days notice. If you think I sound whiny, well, I think you sound stupid, so I guess we're even. [/quote] Louder for those in the back.[/quote] That 7a - 7p day does sound rough. It's probably time to find a different private sector job closer to you in Loudon, Anne Arundel, Howard or PW counties? That is what people did in olden times. They changed jobs.[/quote] Many of us are trying but some people are trying really, really hard to crash the entire economy. For scientists, the massive losses of NIH and NSF funding and federal contracts are absolutely cratering job opportunities. My academic and tech sector friends are worried and my defense contractor friends are seeing layoffs already. [/quote]
