Remote working: 50% of parents are planning to quit their job



Moving away from remote working is costing parents more than £600 extra per month in childcare, Sky News has learned.

Figures shared by Pebble, a flexible childcare service, show that half of the 2,000 parents polled said they were planning on quitting their jobs as a result.

A third said they have already moved to a company with more flexible working.

  1. As a society we were supposed to be moving to working less than 37.5 hours a week with higher wages and more automation in the economy, but this has been forcibly reversed because successive governments are scared of these things. People are done working 48-60 hours a week just so the government can say we are in the top 5 GDP. Meanwhile working people are run into the ground with no benefit of a decent living or retirement.

  4. How did we go from an era where many families were perfectly able to survive with one breadwinner (forced to, in fact, because of sex based discrimination in employment) to an era where families are struggling to survive with two breadwinners? I can't help but feel that ordinary people have been screwed over here somehow. (And no… that isn't an argument for reinstating discrimination in employment…)

    Of course, not all people got screwed over, because some people/corporations have been raking in the profits…

  5. Office managers just want their empire and slaves laid out before them in the office to impress other managers. They don't care about other peoples' families, health problems or financial difficulties, Most office workers DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE OFFICE. Long live remote working. Long live better mental health. Long live family-time. To hell with hours per day stuck in traffic jams to get to offices people don't need to be in.

  6. Good. People need to be reinforced the idea that the Jobs market is a Job's MARKET; We need to tell the large businesses that the days of cheap labour are over, and people need either higher wages or better workloads to actually have a live outside being a corporate cog.
