I was quite pleased to learn that my good friend who's on the family way will really get to enjoy her maternity leave. No remote access to LN while she's out of the office: no laptops, no mobiles, no BlackBerries. No nothing. I guess management truly wants one of its top employees to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience of being a first-time mom. And rightly so. It's legal and it's moral (didn't The Good Book say "There is a time for everything"?). It's just great of her boss not to accept her offer to work while she's on maternity leave.
Surely it's another story once it's over. But for now, it's all about resisting the urge to be in two places at the same time. It's about giving employees a break even if there are ten million items on the to-do list. Though people can actually do more and be there even if they're in the middle of nowhere because of technology, they owe it to themselves to set those boundaries lest they crash and burn.
