Welcome back to Witching Hour: the show that looks at what's exciting, delighting, intriguing, and frustrating us as we make work, work alongside parenting. It's Ready or Not's loose little sister coming to your ears every Monday.

Just a note that today's episode discusses sexual assault, eating disorders, and stresses that can come up in pregnancy.

In today's episode, we cover:

• ANZ links bonuses to office attendance and we have plenty of thoughts.
• Apparently kids will pay the price in push for universal childcare and our response to that viral "daycare is bad" reel that has been doing the rounds (we don't really want to give it any more airtime than we already have, but the reel is here if you want to watch it. Maybe don't though?).
• And women won’t shut up in meetings according to men, but the studies tell us otherwise.
