I’ve been in this industry for over 8 years and had multiple managers but Luke, my current manager, is by far the most understanding and supportive in every aspect. He understands that my daily structure is different being a mum and being at home, so I’m never made feel pressured into having ‘power hours’ at the same time as the branch. He always asks about Pippa and never micromanages me. It’s so nice to have a manager trust me to do my job.
I do feel lucky that I work for a company that is supportive and cares about its employees and even though I work at home I don’t feel isolated. They give me the flexibility and so I don’t I have to sacrifice time with my daughter. We get to have meals together and have got a nice little routine at home.
A friend called me Supermum recently and although there are days when I don’t feel like I’ve achieved anything I secretly put on my cape and fly around the house patting myself on the back. I respect all the fellow Supermums out there, you are doing an amazing job! Now can any of you tell me how best to get jam out of my keyboard…?
