What if not just women, but both men and women, worked smart, more flexible schedules? What if the workplace itself was more fluid than the rigid and narrow ladder to success of the ideal worker? And what if both men and women became responsible for raising children and managing the home, sharing work, love, and play? Could everyone then live whole lives? Brigid Schulte
About This Quote

Let’s ask ourselves: what if we treated people like adults and not like children? This would mean that we should stop treating people like they need to be in a specific place at a specific time to get the most out of their lives. This means that we should stop treating them like their schedules are more important than their lives. We should start treating them like they are grown ups and respect the fact that they can make decisions about how to spend their time and what they want to be doing. This also means that we need to allow for more flexibility and freedom in the workplace. People would be able to spread out their workload and perform tasks when it best suits them.
