[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone on these threads always talks about how much more work they get done. But on my mom’s group- the tone is totally different. They are upset about how they can’t get any work done, they don’t have childcare for their 6m-3 year olds and do a lot of chores during the day. Which also is what I see at my own work. There’s much less productivity from remote workers.

Give supervisors more control over their employees and then remote work might actually work. [/quote]
Weird how they don’t post stories like that anywhere else. Almost like you’re making it up.[/quote]

I’m a female and a mom.  The poster isn’t making it up.  It’s frustrating when I see parents (but particularly moms) on my team and other teams leave or sign off early frequently and don’t meet the same targets as other team members.  A colleague in another department signed off every single day at 3:30 when her kids can home from
The bus.  Blocked it off, didn’t sign back in, etc. Sign them up for after school, and yes she could afford it!

I have women on my team who have had to leave early to work from home with a sick child.  As long as they give me a heads up and do their work I am fine with it. I also give leeway for people who need to care for parents or wait for a plumber but it can’t happen daily and if it is then you use your sick leave or PTO.

Everyone on my husband's team who has kids flexes but they may log off at 3 or 4 to take the kids to an activity, etc. but they are working when they get to the activity or later at night or they start very early in the morning.  [/quote]
