Asking for Flexible Work Time?  

Hopefully you are a man and not a woman according to a new study published in the Journal of Social Issues. The study found that managers were more likely to grant male employees' requests for flex-time and deny women's requests even if it were for the same reasons. Slate.com does a good job reviewing the issue in their recent article, "Women and Men Both Ask for Flex Time at Work. Guess Who Gets It?"  You can read it by clicking here.

This study is quite alarming. Women deserve the same opportunities as their men counterpart and flex-time should be no different.  We all know that gender inequality still does exist in some workplaces, so if you feel that your employer is not extending you the same opportunities as your male coworkers, contact Painter & Westfall today.
