For parents with little ones in daycare, how are you handling drop-off and pick-up with the return-to-office policy? Our daycare only allows drop-off between 8:30–9 a.m. and pick-up between 5–5:30 p.m., and it’s been tough to juggle - especially with the added GO train commute.

It is for this reason these RTO mandates are driving women (and yes mostly it is women being forced to make this choice) out of the workforce.

I would split the responsibility between you and your partner.

Also if you are head of strategy you likely have influence at your workplace to demand some flexibility and advocate for the others who might be in a similar situation

Btw are u in consulting? I’m considering making a move at the partner level into risk advisory and really unsure what week day evenings look like. Mostly for the reasons you’re asking about also. Any light you can shed? Do senior folks in consulting pick their kids up from school? Put them to bed??

Splitting is key if you have a commute. 8:30-5:30 is tough though even if you were local.
