[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are RTO 6 days PP and I will be taking my flex hrs very liberally in order to still be around  after school.  What our leadership doesn’t understand is that WFH allowed us to stretch our productivity even further but providing flexibility. I could be at home to take my kids to practice, start dinner, etc. and still be online to finish up emails, assignments or whatever. Now if I have to maintain rigid hours in the office I won’t be opening a laptop after I get home unless my flexibility stays in place. Take away the flexibility and productivity will suffer.

Some of this flexibility is the problem too. Most meetings are from 2-5pm and people have their calendars blocked off. We work a lot with California so morning meetings won't work.[/quote]

Yes! 2-5 pm is still the workday, but half the people make it siesta time. This is what’s killing WFH - people aren’t available![/quote]

A coworker and I recently discussed the converse of this point.  Both of us regularly field questions/requests that come in from the west coast or AK/HI between 5:30 and 7 pm DC time.  
-When we are WFH, we will just jump back on the computer and respond (these are things that aren't hugely time-consuming, but require more than just email access to handle).  
-When we are in the office, those questions come in during our commuting time.  And when we get home, we're focused on home stuff, plus it's a pain to pull out the laptop and wait the 10 minutes for it to boot up and let us actually respond.  So we respond the next day.  Which is within the limits of what is expected of us, but certainly less convenient for our colleagues out west.[/quote]
