When you walk into a workplace that has its values written on the wall and one of them is "flexibility" you would imagine that you would be able to ask for some adjustments in your work hours and be respected and treated equally while taking those adjustments, but that is not always the case. In my experience, about half the companies that preach flexibility actually give it and the other half use it as a tactic to get people in and then punish them for taking flexibility that they originally offered.
In this episode, I talk about how this can come up. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for you right now but I do have a few things you can try to see if they can create some change in your situation.
If you would like help or support with this process, you can join my free Facebook community, tradeswomen owning their power, or if you would like 1:1 support or you are a business wanting to make the workplace better for tradeswomen and minorities, you can inquire through my website, louiseazzopardi.com
