Marsh & McLennan I am moving 2 hours from my office. My manager says i have to come 2 days to office. When i come to the office its only me and couple of other people. No one seems to care about coming to office. When i asked manager if i can work remote i was told that its for my career development. Can you guys tell in Canada which companies are offering remote opportunities?

KPMG I cleared all the rounds of my interview with KPMG and was asked to provide necessary documents and fill a CAF form a week back and had a HR discussion too. I have requested for about 3Lakhs additional fixed pay since my current CTC has increased and HR said she will get back on this. It's been a week and haven't heard back on the offer letter. How long do you think I should wait. Please wait.

I know this is the reality but it hurts me to my core. I’m a 23 year old on an account team full of moms that I have the utmost respect for and I totally understand that they need that flexibility to be at home when kids are sick or to take their breaks to go to the pump room. Because I know one day I’ll be in their shoes. And I hope they don’t think I’m faking it! Kids and family comes first always. Know that I’m rooting for you and your kids! 💕💕💕
On some level, I agree with this. Only because the majority of people are younger with no children yet, or the parents are men with stay at home wives. My child always comes first, but part of me thinks that they sometimes roll their eyes like "oh sure, the kid is sick again".
I don't feel I necessarily have to hide it and I'm pretty good at putting my foot down and leaving when I need to leave, etc., but I get where you are coming from. I'm always nervous that people will think that I'm using my child as an excuse and it sux. But I just work hard, smart and efficiently and hope that makes up for that insecurity.
I don't hide it at all, but I'm a solo mom, and work with a lot of other parents. I make up for it though, as I'm always working at home in the evening etc. (Not necessarily healthy though)
Responsibilities you feel you can’t talk about, ask for flexibility, etc etc. and why?
I hide it. I have colleagues who don’t know I have kids,
Umm yes every single day in every single conversation.
