[quote=Anonymous]The idea that we only do work at the office is ridiculous. This is what I don't understand about refusing telework (we have a no telework policy that isnt written anywhere, but as a gov't office, that's actually not allowed...every agency needs a telework policy on paper even if it says you can't telework)

How any of us leave work and answer emails, continue to do Work, etc when we are home or on vacation? The lines are so blurred its sort of hypocritical to not allow telework.  We are already doing it, just not getting paid for it!

As a soon to be new mom, if my job doesn't allow the flexibility needed to take care of what I need to, I don't plan on staying )which considering I am already underpaid and there is a hiring freeze, they'd be up a creek). It's their choice.  I think the employee in question will probably find a new job if she doesn't get the flexibility she needs.

For me, it's about retention - if I am valued, theyll try to keep me.  And it's not a new parent thing, everyone in this day and age needs flexilith.  Between terrible commutes, aging parents, etc, and the ability to be connected 24/7, the typical day isn't 9-5.[/quote]
