[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spent 3 hours yesterday afternoon trying to finish a repoort that usually takes minutes.  Trading messages and waiting on replies that would have been easy conversation had we all been together.  Someone had connectivity issues and couldn’t access it remotely.  Another person was AWOL (I know she’s home without childcare for her multiple kids and I have to guess they command attention at that time of day) and held everything up until she got on and added her part.  Luckily we’re all in the office most days and that’s when we’re most productive.[/quote]

Plus, why on earth are they getting paid for full time, when they only work a fraction of that time, between kids and pick ups and appointments, and walks, and household chores?  It is not fair to the rest of the organization or work force, who are forced into the office 8 hours, five days a week.

Also, some people do not have family to offer free help on the regular - but they make it work to keep their job. [/quote]

The same obnoxious poster posts over and over again about the lazy workers who do nothing at home.
Do you not chat with colleagues while at work? Do you not make personal phone calls? Do you not run errands? Do you not waste time making coffee or walking around the office looking for stuff? Most of us are so unproductive for part of every single day. Offices smell funny, they have terrible lighting, uncomfortable chairs (I like to work sitting in my bed, like Edith Wharton). I get so much more work done at home. And if you can't monitor productivity remotely, you need to move at least into the 20th century technologically, never mind the 21st. [/quote]
