Bosses hate work from home because 'home' is for women
in The New York Times, the finance executive and professional blowhard Steven Rattner railed against working from home as evidence that America has"gone soft."
"These are men with very traditional views, who see the home as their wife's domain and work as men's domain," says Joan Williams, the director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California College of the Law."These are people like Elon Musk, for whom everything is a masculinity contest, and the workplace is the key arena. They have no desire to continue to work from home. This is not about workplace productivity. It's about masculinity.
There were two obvious solutions to this dilemma: Either men could do more laundry and childcare, or employers could make jobs flexible enough so women could juggle the obligations of both work and home. Many well-meaning companies offered employees the option to work from home or go part time. But the flexibility came at a steep price.
