[quote=Anonymous]I recently wrote a post asking about where to live when my DH gets transferred up to Frederick, MD.  After research, I just don't think it's possible to maintain my job in SW without a mega commute.  I just can't do that.  I feel like we have little free time as it is and I can't live my life (or waste my kids' lives) on 270.  It's important for DH to be close to his job, based on his duties, so I feel stuck.  He has ruled out N. Bethesda, N. Potomac, Rockville, and even Gaithersburg/Germantown.  He'd consider Clarksburg but we're now to a point where my commute is going to suck.

SO....I'm wondering if I should use whatever leverage I've earned in this job to ask to work FT telecommute.  How would I even go about doing this?  I have no problem coming in to the office once (or maybe twice?!) a pay period but I can't do it every day.  No way.

Has anyone done this before?  How did you sell it to management?  I want them to think that they need ME to continue doing this job, even if it means I'm not in the office every day.  [/quote]
