Personal opinion 👀 Removal of compressed working Today marks the day that my employer mandates that I relinquish my compressed working pattern and move back to a standard 5 day week. I’ve loved having a non-working day to spend with my little boy, adventuring and (let’s be honest) spending less money on childcare. I’ll miss spending time with him but it has been TOUGH fitting a full time job into 4 days and on my “day off” being solely responsible for an energetic and opinionated toddler. So I’ll spend extra money on childcare, but I’ll also reduce my weekly workload by 20%. Will my employer see the benefit of me working over 5 days? I doubt it, because I’m taking every minute of that extra time to spend on myself. I’ll take lunch breaks to get fresh air, I’ll finish work on time and get some exercise before nursery pick up. I expect I’ll be more energised and productive during my working hours as a result, sure, but mostly I’m planning to be selfish with my newly freed up time! I’m lucky to be working for a manager who supports me too. Please keep supporting working mums! And for anybody who continues to be both an employee and a parent in their working weeks, absolute kudos because it is exhausting!
