Folks who are in industry with RTO: I’m sure it varies greatly, but do you still get some time to drop off or pick up your kids from school? I’m hoping that most places at least allow that much flexibility.
For context: Currently in a remote role, but considering an industry offer with RTO.

If your manager and team are composed of parents, you are in good shape. I worried about this a lot before I became a parent. It was pretty covid and totally fine.

Of course, Booz Allen is a people first company.

This I got my qualms with Booz but flexibility isn’t one of them

Varies a lot based on company culture. In IT for a banking company I had some coworkers (IT) who would start early and leave at 3:30 for their kids. No one said anything but we were also a more chill shop than most others.

I’m in the same boat and thankful for the flexibility I’m offered by my company. However I often wonder how folks used to deal with this before covid (when working remotely wasn’t a thing). How did people manage being a parent?!

It was harder and still is for people that do shift work and can’t just show up 30 min late. You had to drop you kid at day care / morning care earlier at 730 and pick them up later.

And that is assuming you find a daycare that provides such opening hours! It is hard to be a parent, it was much harder I think, a minute of ‘thanks’ to all the good parents past present and future!
