I'm positive you're not the only one to feel that way. But it's not the only way to feel either. The child-free office is a socially constructed expectation, it's not an absolute. Some people balk at the idea of casual dress, ping pong tables, dogs in the office, etc.
I would personally love to work in an office where people were welcome to bring their kids. I'd happily deal with the interruptions and inefficiencies. If the company thought the benefits outweighed those costs, I'm game.
- molmalo 10y agoWould you be willing to work overtime for free, to compensate for those interruptions and inefficiencies?
- icebraining 10y agoSounds like a trick question. It's the company that has to compensate for that loss of productivity.
