How presumptuous I was at Verrières. I thought I lived; I was only preparing for life, and here I am at last in the world such as I shall find it, until my part comes to an end, surrounded by real enemies. What immense difficulties are involved in keeping up this hypocrisy every single minute. It is enough to put the labors of Hercules into the shade.
Julien Sorel, “The World, Or What the Rich Lack” from The Red and the Black, Page 194
Following The New Republic's recent blockbuster day-care story, a historian describes a 1971 effort to create a national child-care program–and the backlash that ensued.
In 1971, Congress passed the Comprehensive Child Development Act on a bipartisan vote. Co-sponsored by Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale and Indiana Representative John Brademas, the act established a network of nationally funded, locally administered, comprehensive child care centers, which were to provide quality education, nutrition, and medical services. Mondale viewed the measure as a first step toward universal childcare. Wanting “to avoid typing it as a poor person’s program,” Mondale later explained, the centers were to be open to all on a sliding scale basis. Congress authorized real money for the program—in today’s dollars, the equivalent of five times the 2012 federal budget for Head Start.
But President Richard Nixon vetoed it. Declaring the Comprehensive Child Development Act to be “a long leap into the dark,” Nixon ominously warned that it would “commit the vast moral authority of the National Government to the side of communal approaches to child rearing over against the family-centered approach.”
“Even for Nixon, it was surprising,” Mondale later wrote. Nixon had in fact requested two statements from his staff, one to sign and one to veto the act; the administration had helped to draft the bill; most of those in the administration who opposed it wanted Nixon to say only that it would be too costly to administer. Instead, Pat Buchanan, then a special assistant to Nixon, prevailed. Itching to escalate the nascent culture war, Buchanan inserted his fevered imaginings into Nixon’s official message.
Still, Buchanan didn’t—at least yet—get the reaction he hoped for. The consensus stood with women’s rights—in the nation and in the GOP itself. Four months after Nixon’s veto, a huge bipartisan majority in Congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment. Later that year, women delegates to the 1972 Republican convention won a strong child care plank in the party’s platform, albeit over Nixon’s objections.
Meanwhile, Mondale and Brademas regrouped. To fend off accusations they were “anti-family” communist sympathizers (New York Republican Senator James Buckley said the law would create pressure “to encourage women to put their families into institutions of communal living”), they scaled back their ambitions. Gone was the word “comprehensive” in the title and 90 percent of the funding. Their revised Child and Family Services Act passed the Senate in 1973, but died in the House.

Gracias al coronaviritus –sin subestimar el gran poder y reinado que ha logrado obtener actualmente en el mundo–, millones de personas han tenido que transportar sus deberes laborales a casa para poder seguir generando dinero y, por lo tanto, un futuro de vida estable –al menos, por unas semanas más.
Nuestra salud mental se ha visto invadida por una sobrecarga de deberes laborales que, gracias a jefes que aún no entienden muy bien cómo se debe sobrellevar esta modalidad de trabajo que está moviendo al mundo, recargan de innumerables tareas a sus empleadores.
Que tu oficina se haya mudado a un espacio de tu casa no significa que tienes que estar ahĂ todo el dĂa. ¡Hay horas! ¡Te pagan por ciertas cantidades de horas! Puede ser cierto que, con este cambio brusco, existan un sinfĂn de deberes que luego con el tiempo irán en descenso hasta llegar a pisar el territorio y ambiente normal, pero esto no significa que debes desvelarte por estas tareas infinitas (las cuales parecen sacadas de un sombrero de mago).
De por sĂ, esta crisis sanitaria está derrumbando el mundo emocional de varios al ver cĂłmo la cifra de infectados crece bochornosamente cada dĂa. Pero quizá todo este problema no se genere porque nuestros jefes quieran sobreexplotarnos –ellos no tienen cĂłmo medir nuestro rendimiento cĂłmo lo hacĂan desde la oficina–, sino por una falta de comunicaciĂłn desbordante y por falta de una planificaciĂłn de horarios y objetivos.
No se trata de lidiar con el jefe ni con el teletrabajo. No debes lidiar con situaciones que nada de bien traen a tu vida diaria. Se trata de organización y comunicación: saber transportar –y transformar– tu vida pasada hacia una modalidad virtual que no perturbe tu estabilidad. Nadie puede decirte cómo puedes hacerlo, ni tu jefe debe implantarte, ni mucho menos amenazarte, cómo debes lidiar el teletrabajo, pues, al fin al cabo, ambos son interdependientes (por diversas razones).
Tal vez trabajar desde casa sea parte del sueño de muchas personas, pero cuando algunos se ven sometidos a este cambio de manera repentina e impulsiva, pueden ver afectados su rendimiento, creatividad e, inclusive, comprometer su personalidad y vida emocional.
