[quote=Anonymous]I’m a fed and like others mentioned you get a lot of leave after 15 years. Also I am able to earn credit hours (basically a form of comp time, get time off awards, and have a broad flex band of hours I can work). I am able to volunteer at my kids’ schools and take long weekends, school breaks, etc. off because I plan my work schedule around them. It may mean getting up early to work at 6 am or catching up at night once their asleep. Also, my DH is in the private sector and has a similar setup. He coaches sports games with 5 pm practices, meaning he has to wrap up work by 4:15 or so a couple times per week. Some jobs are more amenable to this type of flexibility than others. We chose to stay in these roles so we aren’t tethered to our computers, but it also means we aren’t making the crazy $$$ that comes with some of the more stressful jobs out there (e.g. I have zero interest in giving up my lifestyle to work in big law).
