[quote=Anonymous]I often ask people whether they would prefer:

A. Regular, set M-F hours for, say 40-45 hours/week, with the expectation that you will be almost 100% on during those hours, but then 100% off the rest of the time; or

B. Have no set hours, with the expectation that you’ll be mostly available all the time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends - but have nearly 100% flexibility in terms of working whenever and wherever you want, as long as the work gets done.

I am always shocked that everyone I ask says A. I have B and LOVE it. There is nothing more pointless to me than sitting at a desk scrolling DCUM just because I’m supposed to be working at a set time, but have nothing that actually needs to be done.

That said, I check my email constantly, so I would never miss a meeting invite. But if it didn’t work for schedule, I would respectfully ask my boss if we could shift the time, or I would just call in rather than be on camera. I often take meetings from the car.
