Anna Taylor Interview(s)

I think our agency is trying to be helpful to working mothers, but similar to other companies, it’s not typically the institution, it’s often your direct manager that dictates how you as a working mother are treated. When reporting to someone that does not have children and has only work as a primary focus, it does make it more difficult to function at a high level at work and to be promoted.

To give yourself a break and not feel like you have to do it all. For example, some times I use a house cleaning service so that my Sunday isn’t consumed with cleaning and laundry, and I can spend that time with my child.

I hope to see continued acceptance of flexible schedules and working from home options. I still find that people with no children look at working parents as not “pulling the same weight” because they are not chained to their desk.

It has. I have always been a very calm/chill person and being a parent just enhanced that vibe making it easier to deal with difficult clients, peers or managers.

Knowing that I am kicking butt out here to take care of my child and ensuring that he has a good life.
