IMHO, at toddler age it's not possible to simultaneously work as childcare provider / preschool teacher and software engineer (or anything else for that matter)

IMHO, at toddler age it's not possible to simultaneously work as childcare provider / preschool teacher and software engineer (or anything else for that matter). That's why we have childcare workers.
I agree with the comment saying to focus on working during your toddler's sleep hours. Get done what you can and don't worry excessively about how this isn't enough.
Employers need to dial down expectations during this crisis - it's the price to pay for living in a society. If it's any consolation, the economy - including your employer - is being affected in many ways and your reduced productivity during this time is only one effect of many that none of us have any control over.

- the_jeremy 7y agoRaise hell. Everyone in your company with kids is going through the same thing. Surely there have to be enough people in your company who can empathize to say fuck that. Google has had walkouts over way less.
- lonelappde 7y agoWhy should your employer pay you 100% for 50% work? Are customers paying 100% for 50% product? Why should everyone except your peer group take the haircut?
- eggsmediumrare 7y agoTaking advantage of an opportunity to pay your workers 50% less if your company is doing fine feels kinda greasy.

- lubujackson 7y agoHonestly? Bumble through as best you can. A week from now all of this will look very different. Expectations need to catch up with reality.
