[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read all 8 pages of this thread, but I don't think OP should say anything.

I WFH 1-2 times per week and always put in extra hours those days. One coworker uses her Friday WFH day to extend her weekend and go on trips. I know it and it irks me, but I don't manage her. What bothers me is when I get 'sent from iphone' requests from her on Fridays to do what should be her job. Sorry lady, those requests are going straight to trash. [/quote]

OP here: In my case, she is not requesting us to do anything or doing anything herself. Basically it is radio silence on these days and they coupled with reports that she is out and about is problematic.

If she is working some weird schedule  then she should let us know that on Friday she works 4-12 and on Mondays from 12-8 (again unlikely but possible) and won't be available between Friday 12 to Monday 12. She is aware that we need her input.

A recent example: : I am charge of putting together a report for a funding agency. We collect input from everybody by Thursday afternoon, put together a report and run it by our supervisor who gives me feedback by Friday morning.  I work back and forth with with everybody to get the revised report  by Fridayafternoon but  I am still waiting for Jane's changes who drops off by 2 pm. So at this point, I have to interrupt my forward momentum and restart the whole process on Monday morning to get it sent out. Ideally I would like to get this done and go home happy on Friday.
