table, their living room, or in a cafe near their work, or maybe even in their office in the middle of a workday, and mums broke down in tears, telling me they felt they were failing their children. there is not a focus on over work. there is in some jobs obviously and some areas, but i think in general we don t have that culture. i think if people have the choice, unfortunately lots of people don t, but if they do, they will choose a job where they are home at six and work a little less. i think you see many more parents of these years working four days a week, than ten years ago. i think it is fine going home at four or five, it is ok as long as you put in your hours, which is 40 hours a week. we don t have a culture that stresses excellence, so you don t have to excel. that makes life
i sat down with mothers, whether at their dining room table, their living room, or in a cafe near their work, or maybe even in their office in the middle of a workday, and mums broke down in tears, telling me they felt they were failing their children. there is not a focus on over work. there is in some jobs obviously and some areas, but i think in general we don t have that culture. i think if people have the choice, unfortunately lots of people don t, but if they do, they will choose a job where theey are home at six and work a little less. i think you see many more parents of these years working four days a week than ten years ago. i think it is fine going home at four or five, it is ok as long as you put in your hours, which is 40 hours a week. we don t have a culture that stresses excellence, so you don t have to excel. that makes life a little bit easier.
