[quote=Anonymous]Not everyone can flex. I had a nasty boss who would rarely let me take off, even for a medical emergency (I had to wait till she left the office and get permission from a co-worker to go to the ER - they were shocked the boss said no). The boss was rarely there nor were several co-workers so someone had to do the work. (needless to say I quit when my child was born after exhausting all my leave). My husband works with mostly men who are really easy going, flexible and supportive. He can take off pretty much short notice if we get sick or a field trip or just want to spend the day with us as long as his work is getting done and he gets his hours or uses leave. I can see how a parent cannot. My boss regularly threatened me with my job if I used leave (to then yell at me when her bosses got upset at my leave balances at the end of the year). At that point, we needed the money and I did not have the option to quit till my husband got his salary up.[/quote]
