An executive at my husband’s workplace just stated that employees were expected to continue their normal productivity regardless of if they had young children at home, working spouses, etc. I’m livid for him, exhausted & frustrated for myself (childcare has been falling on me)
My husband isn’t eligible for that. His company does have leave for people who can’t work remotely, but he would have to use his vacation time first. So far he’s been taking off just a day here or there to give me time to work, then I work on the weekends.
That’s really too bad. No employer should be telling their employees it’s “business as usual.” That’s a terrible employer!
I wish you the best in these difficult times.
