Work Life at the White House
Jill Miller Zimon on WritesLikeSheTalks covers today’s NYT piece on White House staffers attempting work life integration. “There has got to be a way to turn this high-profile example of what parents have been experiencing for at least the last fifty years or more into action.” Good question- but I don’t know how powerful this example is for most of us. I think most people wouldn’t have much sympathy for high level political operatives who trade family time for a few years’ work experience at the apotheosis of power. I’d say, the bright side to political life is it comes in fits and starts: there is always an off-season, or change in administration. But I can imagine Rahm Emanuel’s kids don’t see all that much of their dad.
Indeed, the article is a relief because it gives equal time to moms and dads.
