As a single mother with four children, Sally may have more difficulties managing work and childcare responsibilities, making a flexible work schedule or telecommuting more desirable for her. Jonathan has been with the company for thirty years and may be less likely to want to change his work arrangements, while Gina has only been with the company for six months and may not yet feel established enough to make requests for flexible work arrangements.
