Who says that in order to have flexibility the adjustments need to be made by an employer? Let me be clear – FlexPaths does not advocate companies standing still but I did hear an interesting story last week.

Excerpts from My Journal: My Virtual Migration

Running a virtual company, I’ve reflected on how I’ve evolved on the flex, communication, and technology fronts.

January, 2003:  Dip toe into flex work. Daughter #1 turns six months and it is clear.  No more five-day-in-an-office work weeks for me.  Solution - find a boss who is never in one place.  I do.  She/I live in the same state, she has multiple offices (NJ, Boston), she travels no less than 50% of the time. I have all of her phone numbers (Boston office, NJ office, home office, her mother’s in Florida, work cell, personal cell, home fax, office fax) and her office & home emails.  Become very chummy with her two administrative assistants who happen to job share.  I add their home, office and cell phone numbers to the list as well as keep their work schedules top of mind.

A friend of mine wrote to me the other day, and it was so poignant in a variety of ways, it made me want to share it with you. With my friend's permission to omit her company, and change personal details like names- I'm sharing with you her frustrations. My hope is that you, the reader, will find solace in not being alone in your challenges to achieve work/life effectiveness and that you, like her, might be able to find guidance and assistance through the resources available on our website.
