Kids can observe parents working at home and learn from that.  The issue is many are not working 9-5.  Tonight my husband had a call with his boss at 7 PM for an hour and another work call after that.  So, you expect him to go to work (with an hour+ commute each way), then come home to 2-3 more hours of work/calls and a few nights a week, being on call waking up in the middle of the night to deal with emergencies.  If you have a 9-5 job being in the office is no big deal, but when its not 9-5 its a huge deal.  He'd gladly go in if it was just 9-5 and no work at home.[/quote]

At some point it also becomes simply impractical....You want someone who has an hour commute each way to be in the office from 9-5:30 pm.  But you also want them to regularly give a presentation during a meeting that goes from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.  If they commute home between 5:30-6:30 they are cutting it close; obviously trying to present while driving a car or sitting on public jtransportation are both bad ideas for safety and confidentiality reasons; and staying at the office from 9:00 am to 7:30 pm is a 10 hour day, not an 8 hour day.

This. I’m not taking calls from the west coast on my way home from work. It’s impractical and also dangerous. I didn’t have these calls pre-Covid. This is after spending all day alone in a conference room on Teams. I’m looking for a new job.  [/quote]

Problem is this is what they want.  They want people to quit.  The west coast has no consideration for the people here.  Their day is just ramping up as our day shut down. [/quote]
