I can’t speak for your financial situation but if you can avoid it, just spend as much time as possible with your kid (and partner) because you’ll never get it again.

I picked up a well-paying freelance producer job while I was on leave. It helped alleviate some of the financial stress for sure and made me feel a little more sane. The hardest part was finding time to pump.

Depending on your skill set you could try some remote design work or consulting.

First of all OP. What is it that you can do? “Manager” doesn’t really give us anything to go off of.

Paid leave?

The first few months are draining. Be ready to work in a zombie state.

Technically if it's paid leave can't you get in trouble for double dipping? Or not paid leave? I don't care either way, just be careful of that is all. Good luck!

Typically a paid leave is basically short term disability. Therefore it would be illegal to work. If it’s unpaid I would look into your state laws regarding the topic.

You don’t have to take leave. If you want to want to work just come back early.

My 26 month old has a bunch of words and while he’s pretty excellent at repeating what we say to him, he’s not really able to respond with his own thoughts. I don’t want a parrot, I want a human. Is this developmentally appropriate? When will he be able to communicate back to us? When I say “good night baby”, he repeats it back rather than responding with “good night mama”. This is just an example.

For the last four weeks or so of WFH I’ve been making it to my desk around 7:30/8am and working basically without a break—lunch at desk- but cannot maintain momentum past like 6:30/7:30pm. Most of the day is billable work, but I cannot bring myself to finish outstanding assignments after 8pm, but then feel so guilty when I’m not working past that time. Am I burnout or fucked up? (Also I hate this gig & am not in it for the long haul, just hate not turning things quickly)

Any chance they’d pay back spending prior to start date that was within a certain window (my last company allowed this for moving-related expenses, as an example) of the start? McKinsey & Company

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week.

Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
