Fine and dandy. But flexible working is not just for parents or people with other caring responsibilities.

Suppose Alan who has no family at all proposes a compressed hours arrangement which will involve not working on Fridays. You don’t know why and it’s not your concern. You agree to try it; it works fine and you make it permanent.

Now Betty returns from mat leave and cannot get child care on Fridays. You cannot spare her too; there must be a minimum of bums-on-seats.

Do you ask Alan to change?
