Postformal thought process is the ability to reason both logically and emotionally, taking into account individual perspectives and contexts. This stage is reached after the formal operational stage of cognitive development and is more common in young adults. The young adults in the scenario are discussing work schedules, which requires them to balance both logical considerations (e.g. work needs) and emotional considerations (e.g. spending time with loved ones).
