[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a govt work at home. Log on respond some emails, open word doc put coffee mug on key board so it types away nonsense, go get dressed come back push some more buttons. [/quote] Here is a worker at the office: Logon, go get coffee. Stand around chatting with coworkers. Respond to a few emails. Take break to sign kids up for camp and to make doctor’s appointments. Login to meeting (virtual because not everyone is in the same locality). Take lunch break to go walk around or run errands. … c’mon now, having a butt in a chair in office doesn’t mean you’re working harder than the person at home.[/quote] C’mon now, being on site with physical supervisors with physical eyes does indeed mean you need to work harder than the person upthread whining that they can’t “load the dishwasher and cut vegetables” while being paid for it.[/quote] I’m that PP. You are being silly. My point is that many of us at home may do some small personal tasks throughout the day that are no more than a few min here or there but make our lives much saner. On the flip side, I’m saving 2 hours on the commute so available later in the day or meetings and work. I’ve been at the same job for many years, all in person, then hybrid, then all telework during the pandemic, then limited hybrid until now. I do my work and I do it well. It’s not dependent on where I’m located. Honestly, I work in an office that’s pretty social when people are all in so there’s a lot less chit chatting at home. (And there’s some benefit to those relationships and chit chat which is why I do think hybrid rather than full telework has merits, but there’s no reason for everyone to be in 5 days a week)[/quote]
