Curious to get perspective...I have 2 kids in elementary school and I have no idea how my working spouse and I are going to manage virtual learning. I understand there’s no obvious solution, but curious if you find it odd that there’s no acknowledgment by leadership that this is a massive issue facing a large portion of the workforce (with potential implications to the business)? Not looking for advice on my situation, but perspective on how you think this will play out for orgs and employees.

I’m also surprised and frustrated this hasn’t come up. Since covid has started I feel like the working mother / parent has been forgotten. There is all this celebration for folks being heros in the community or with clients. What about us?

I’m a mom. I cook all the meals. I do all the grocery shopping. I do half the laundry and cleaning, wiping groceries, etc. I sit thru my preschoolers zoom classes because he is to you to do on his own. I work my full hours, make all my deadlines. But my boss has no clue. It doesn’t even occur to him. Only concession I get is I work when I can. I get no time for myself. And I’m exhausted. When will I be celebrated?!

And might I clarify working parent of a young child. HUGE difference. Disappointed with my company.

Hey guys, so I just finished my final interview on Monday (today's Friday) for a company in Norway and was told to wait until next week as they're interviewing this week.

I need to take off my mind from worrying - obviously I want this job so badly!
