[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very flexible schedule, 2 weeks sick and 4.5 weeks annual leave, comp time, ability to work from home up to 3 days a week, ability to work out at lunch, almost no commute, very understanding and family-friendly attitude.  All of these together make it possible to have good work/life balance.[/quote]

Sounds great![/quote]

It is.  And that is why I remain a very loyal employee even with much higher paid alternatives available.  I am extremely productive too because I waste no time or energy at work being upset or figuring out how to fit it in.  I only actually work 1 day a week at home, but some work more and the option is very important to me, especially as I know my needs will change as my children get older.

Most attorneys at my office can work from home 1-2 days a week after 1 year and 3 days after 4.  It is a privilege, however, and it can be taken away if you don't work up to par.  I find I am more productive on work from home days than I am at work (although it varies), and I usually end up working longer and being even more responsive.  And I am way less stressed than I would be without that option because if enables me to work around doctors appointments, deliveries, etc. and then get right back to working.[/quote]
