Barbara Schneider Work Quotations

Work plays a significant role in the lives of working families, not only in the amount of time they spend at work but also with their attitudes toward work and how these attitudes and expectations spill over to the home, Overworking is very pervasive, but parents don't have the mechanisms to put the brakes on.

Working parents are taking work home and not necessarily being compensated for it. The number of hours parents are spending on work is astronomical.

It isn't just a problem of the employee, it's a workplace problem that requires people to work together to make flex-time a real option that doesn't have negative repercussions with respect to job security and promotion. Rearranging work schedules to make people's lives more reasonable should be a desirable option.

There are no quick fixes. But we need to work together to make our lives more livable and to make our children and ourselves more successful as people.

There will be times when work might interfere with your family's schedule. But don't miss important activities in your children's lives.
