Dear Shaunti,

I work full-time, have 3 small children and work a flex schedule. This works really well for my family but my male co-workers get frustrated when they can’t reach me during traditional office hours. I’m getting all my work done but I’m worried they’re not viewing me as an equal colleague because they don’t always see me in the office.

In my research for The Male Factor, I saw a perception held by nearly all men (and, often, executive-level women).
