I am two days away from my due date, but still working so that I can stay home longer when my new offspring arrives! I’m very fortunate that the owner of Tandem CloudTop wants me to stay home with my new little one for as long as I would like.
Since our company specializes in Virtual Desktop Hosting, transitioning to working from home is going to be a breeze. Even though we mainly work from the office, my coworkers and I still benefit from having shared files, which makes accessing our current data much more efficient. I am excited to be able to work from home so that I can feel productive, and still be able to hold my baby on demand and let my body take the appropriate time to heal.
After I had my first child, I wasn’t ready to part from her for 5 months, and that was only for short periods of time. Going back to work full time after having a child is not an easy task, but often necessary when maternity leave is unpaid or only for a short period of time. Paternity leave is almost unheard of in the US, but many fathers that I have spoken with lament over not being able to be with their newborn or help out their spouse.
If you don’t want to miss out on this special time for your family, but need to work, consider utilizing our hosted services to access your desktop just like you would at the office. You will have the best of both worlds, in feeling great about getting work done, but being able to hold and give your newborn as many hugs as you can.
