On the campaign trail, @allisteradel indicated her disdain for “part-time prosecutors.” Today I learned that she has become one.

A 🧵👇
As a prosecutor, I was fortunate that I could take less than full-time status to have a maternity leave and bond with my child. I imagine transitioning to a part-time prosecutor role after her injury is important to her recovery.

It’s also a luxury few workers have.
Many people are forced out of the workforce because of personal tragedy, caring for a family member with an illness, or tending to a new child.

The need to step away from work disproportionately falls on women.
Changing perspectives on this issue is essential for anyone who wants to lead a humane workplace.

There’s no shame in taking “part-time” status to recover and find balance. The key to making it work is honest communication with your employers--in this case, the taxpayers.
