I know now has been hard. But, the workplace is changing forever, and I believe for the better for working parents.
WFH and flexibility will be a norm. And, even more importantly we’re seeing the rise of visible parenting. Before it was common to not bring up your home job at your workplace.
But, in today’s climate, it’s hard not to. Kids are bombing Zooms. Working times are shifting to accommodate home schooling. People are seeing first-hand just how hard it is for you to juggle it all. We’ve been interviewing non-parents in the workplace, and the overall sentiment is “I have no idea how they are doing this.”
So just make it through this. You'll be better off on the other side.
