re: Show of votes: who is OK with becoming a telework society?

The first problem in this short term is my set up. I’m not going to devote a ton of time to build a home office. My usual set up working from home is the occasional morning or afternoon and I post up from the kitchen table. I’ve converted an old TV cabinet and a spare monitor in an upstairs room for now, but it is between my kids bedrooms. So I have to send them down any time I take a call. And that leads to the second problem. Kids aren’t at school until 3 so productivity it naturally less than it would be if they were gone. The wife can stay quiet and keep the baby quiet but the older kids are too hyper. Would send them outside but the yard is soaked from rain the other day.

frick that. Im way more productive at work. I can get info much faster in person than webex, skype, and phones.
Me too. I dick off more at home than when I'm in the office. It's also generally just less productive for me having to use IM, text etc.

There is a portion of my work that I have to be in person for... but I'd love to be able to work Monday and Friday from home maybe and schedule anything on site for T-W-Th.

I've been working remote for almost a year. I don't think I could ever work in a physical office again.

When the kids go back to school that is.
After Harvey I got shite done way easier in the two months I worked at home after the kids were back in school

I've always wondered what specific jobs and industries work from home and what the pay is. I'm assuming some sales and purchasing jobs can do it but what companies in particular?
Most of my company is capable of working from home but the company is so old school we are butts in seats unless it's post-hurricane.

Hi will I bang my secretary if I’m never going to the office?

Because there are no distractions at home
Right?

I've worked from home since 2011 and it is not always as great as non-remote workers think it is. By Thursday each week, I am sick of being home. 3 days home, 2 days office would be ideal.
I can work at home on an as needed basis.
I've done it for a week a few times and I hated it by Wednesday or Thursday. I'm an introvert too but there's a certain separation of home life and work life that just blends together. I like getting out of the house for the day.

I don't know how so many of you guys say you're more productive at home. I always find I'm even less productive than usual. Which is saying a lot.
I don't hate going to the office because I have a short commute though. Back when I was in the car almost an hour each way it was enough to make me wish I could work from home.

Telework with kids in school >>> working at the office >>> telework with kids at home

Idk, the video conferences and conference calls I've been on suck. Someone's audio is always fricked. Or the dumbass that doesn't mute himself and you can hear their fat breathing.
Obviously we still have these not working remotely, but the number I have had to be apart of since last week has been out of control.

Some moron always puts the call on hold.

I absolutely refuse to live and work at the same place.

I'm good with working from home as long as I'm not stuck here and can live my life otherwise normally.

Some people maybe. A lot of people would have a larger propensity to frick around.
A shitty employee is shitty whether they are in the office or they are at home. Does the work get done in a timely fashion and is it acceptable work is the only real question that should be asked.

Of course there are distractions.
But instead of spending 45min jabbering about Tom Brady leaving the Patriots when you get into the office while you're supposed to be just grabbing coffee, or about your kids' latest catastrophe, you log in and work. I can get more done in 2-3 hours at home than I get done in the office all day. I know because I have to go into the office once a week still, and I get distracted all day by random chatter and impromptu gatherings/meetings. Drives me crazy.
This frees up time for me to live my life more the way I see fit. I can do actual work 3-4 hours but I can also spend time in the gym, cooking my lunch, meal prepping, straightening up the house, or just doing things that make my own life better, but I still get more done than I feel like I ever have. I'm more productive and happier. Of course not every day is like that, some days are shite storms and i do wind up working all day.
That said, I am an introvert and totally fine with isolation most days. I have a social class-based experience at my gym so that's usually where I socialize, and it's great because none of it's about work.

It's different when you are doing it every day. Usually when I hear people say they frick around at home it is an abnormal work situation for the short. term. That fosters a different mentality.
Putting a load of laundry in or checking the mail takes a lot less time than Betty chatting to you about her grandkids at the office.
