To me it's a progressive move.
yeah i agree with all of this, i'm just suggesting there is a balance between what someone is being paid to be doing and everything else people may have going on in their lives.
ChasnotRobert-
I’d suggest there’s been a creep for longer hours and more available out of office hours too though… Covid just re addressed this a bit in terms of balance.
If those managers have their holidays interrupted seems ok for the kids to be in the background then….? -
Same. There's guys on site, stuck doing tunnelling for example one very fixed shift, plus overtime with absolutely no flexibility at all and there is sometimes a bit of resentment about what some office staff get away with.

I worked at the CPS in the late 2000s and they had an incredibly flexible working environment for the time. Obvs dependent on what you did, but at the time it had one of the highest ratios of female employees in the public sector.
To me it's a progressive move. It allows mothers back to work and helps fathers to be more involved.
