I get to see and understand first hand how the three day work week functions from the perspective of my manager who is on it and me as the colleague of such a working mum. To be honest, it has not been going well for my manager and tensions have been running high in the team lately.
These type of flexible work arrangements are more common in Australia than Singapore. I can see how it works there because people are more used to it and are generally okay to adjust their schedules & expectations around such arrangements. It's not easy but workable in Australia.
This does not appear to be the case ......Do you remember my post about the three day work week? The interesting thing is that my manager returned from maternity leave and is now on a three day work week. This is unusual in an accounting firm where there are revenue and client pressures.
