Please create more part time positions for parents and/or other people who want to work part time for lifestyle reasons. And please don't make them all "Part Time Executive Assistant/ Secretarial/Receptionist" style jobs and salary levels - create them at all levels of work! Not everyone who wants part time work is a secretary. And not everyone who works part time should be on a crap salary level!
In addition, or perhaps as an alternative, could you please warmly consider applications for shared jobs where it is possible, and state that you do this clearly on the Job Ad or workplace website?
Thanks for your consideration. Your compliance in these matters will be setting a new standard of equal opportunity and occupational health!
Kind regards,
Meririsa

Dear Merry Risa,
We have created a type of position that fits the bill. You can choose however many hours you want to work or not work and can choose what time of day to work them. You will even be paid pretty well for this job and be respected by others in this role! You won't even suffer professionally for taking time off to raise your baby and will instead be met with total understanding. We will co-contribute to your superannuation too and guarantee you job security no matter what happens with the economy. The down side is dealing with vomit, poop and tears, but that's what you've been doing for the last few months anyway. This job is called nursing. Please call us if you are interested in this field.
Love,
the state government of your choice.
PS - I can't tell you how grateful I am that I accidentally fell into a field that will let me work things out in the best interests of our baby even when this was the furthest thing from my mind. I feel bad for you being stuck in the situation that you're in. So many employers totally suck! Good luck with finding a good position xxx Mermaidgrrrl
