'Richard DiBona, a 53-year-old software manager at Wayfair, sent a message to his team letting them know he would probably be “getting bugged more” by his kids due to his wife’s new high-level job.'
The obvious solution being for Mrs. DiBona to retire and apply herself full-time to raising the kids. That would totally free-up Richard DiBonas' time.
Seriously though, no business owes an employee extra privileges in relation to their domestic arrangements.
