I think that being able to request flexible working is a good thing as long as the employer has a right to say no or come to a compromise. Otherwise many smaller companies, who already struggle with giving employees maternity leave etc., will suffer.
My personal view is that a mother should not work but should care for her own children. Yes, I know that I was born too late for this to be a reality for most but I feel all this legislation has become so complicated and biased in favour of those who "play the system" in order to get as much out for very little put in.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
