[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is there any update with your original post?[/quote]

OP here.  She has her mid-year review next week, so during the review I am going to remind her of the employee responsibilities regarding telework.  I have been in training with her this week, and she mentioned how dramatic her daughter was regarding not wanting to go to school and being "sick", and that she's just over the top.  Then she told me "just you wait until you have a 6 year old, because then I'll know what it's like."  I may not have a six year old (I have a two year old), but I was a six-year old at one point, and my parents would not have tolerated me pretending to be sick to get out of school - which was what my employee was implying is the case.

She later was commenting how much she prefers working at home to being in the office.  [/quote]
So basically she knows that her daughter is not sick, and yet uses her as a pretext for not coming in (which is as good as encouraging bad behavior in her own kid, but that's another story). And tells her supervisor about this.
