She discovered that while most people have favorable attitudes about flexible work and the people who request it, they mistakenly believe other people hold unfavorable attitudes. As a result, people tend to publicly express unfavorable attitudes toward flexible work situations despite their personal beliefs. Munsch, along with Stanford sociologist Cecilia Ridgeway and UC Hastings Law Professor Joan Williams, published their findings in the February issue of Work & Occupations and in Stanford University’s Gender News.
