NP but I waited until I got my offer. Their answer was vague "teleworking is available to all employees depending on your performance." I pressed hard for more information and none ever came out. Turns out boss hates telework. I'm two years in and recently I got one day a month of telework. I feel conned. There has to be a better way to find out before you even apply or interview.[/quote]

+1 At my job, telework depends on the supervisor and it is considered a privilege, not a benefit.  [/quote]

That's because telework is a privilege. Dealing with employees who think telework is a right is obnoxious. [/quote]

This view by an employer would bring up all sorts of red flags for me. I absolutely wouldn't take a job where the boss said this (I don't like to telework either). Makes me think the boss would be a hard ass on other issues. Or if I was house bound due to a surgery he would let me be on leave without pay instead of allowing telework (seen that in person).

The only jobs that shouldn't allow telework are those where you physically need to be there (doctors, nurses) or it's a top secret job where it's not allowed. [/quote]
