Six months after her baby was born, Amanda Sanchez still couldn't imagine returning full-time to her job in marketing at Adobe's Lehi, Utah, offices. Her family's finances depended on it — but 40 hours a week away from her baby? "You become so attached, it’s so hard to think of being away for an hour at a time," she said.
She hoped to return to work with a more flexible schedule, working from home at least a few days a week, but she hadn't discussed it with her manager before going on leave. She figured she'd push for it once she got back. "If it wasn't going to be offered, I’d look elsewhere for it, because it was important for me," she said.
