Has anyone used the "reduced work hours" during busy season (Jan) after parental leave? How hard was it to discuss with the team?

I’m doing it now and not hard. I tell them each week what time I will be leaving and approx. when I will be back online in the evening. Just set expectations and you’ll be fine.

I agree with SM1—I did it for 4 busy seasons and I was clear with my expectations and made my days very efficient

I wouldn't. Your pay will be docked and you'll end up being pressured to work many hours.

I’ve heard that if you make it an official arrangement, because it’s very visible when it comes time for promotion and pay discussion. Instead, talk to your partners about working from home , once or twice a week.

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
