[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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[/b] (e.g. I have zero interest in giving up my lifestyle to work in big law).
