Especially those with long commutes!!
I have 2 toddlers and am 6 months pregnant. Until RTO, I had been working from home for more than 10 years with my kids in daycare and flexible hours where I could sign off a tad early to be a mom and work some at night. Now I’m in the car almost 4 hours a day as I’m not close to the office at all/haven’t had to go into an office for more than a decade. I don’t get home until late and am too exhausted to cook dinner. I see my kids significantly less. Husband also works so our parents have also had to make sacrifices at work just to pick kids up from daycare.
Can’t quit…I need the maternity leave soon. Plus, who is going to hire the 6 month along pregnant woman? It is impossible to raise a family on one salary these days. I could wait to be laid off, but not sure I’d get severance. I could stop coming into the office and wait to get fired, but then I definitely wouldn’t get severance.
Not even sure what I’m asking for here…Tips? Advice? Words of encouragement? Thanks everyone for listening to my s-b story 🫠 I’m tired.
