[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]When my kids were small, I worked for the govt., which was definitely a mommy tracked legal position. [/b] Now that they're older, I'm working in-house.  The work is better in every way except it's longer hours, more stress and more than I personally could have handled with young children.[/quote]

Friend does this.  Works from home 4 days a week, has plenty of time to do all her errands, etc. and get her work done.  It's a cushy gig.  [/quote]

Hello, WAH means you save commute time, not that she runs errands during the daytime but still get work done. So if her commute is usually 30 min, she gets extra 4 hours. Unless your friend is running errands during work hours, gaining commute time does not make it cushy.

Anecdotally, I work at a federal agency where we record timesheets in and out daily, our security ID card has to be plugged in, and if there's no laptop movement in 15 min your manager can see it and will IM you. Our productivity is recorded and reviewed monthly, if you go under a level you get on a performance plan. Our timesheets are so strict you cannot b3 off my 1 min. Managers get reports and they will email you about it. [/quote]

Why does a performance plan matter if you can't get fired?[/quote]
