[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I’m 40 and still feel like I’m paying my dues. Not sure when that ends. 50? Retirement? Working from home is not an option for most. I’ve had 4 friends go from on site to working from home. 3 out of 4 were laid off within 2 years. The remaining 1 had union protection, but now gets stuck with crappy administrative work even though she has a law degree. I love how remote work is portrayed as being the new modern norm on TV. Reality: you get forgotten or fired.

I believe something like &gt; 50% of Feds have TW options. Some opt for higher paying, higher prestige jobs and some are okay with balancing work/life balanced careers. I TW 2-3 days a week and my corp. position. I am not getting laid off any time soon as I've been doing this for 8 years (as have my 5000 co-workers). I won't have the option if I wanted to be on the executive track and I'm ok with that. It's a conscious choice I make. But I am not unemployed. Why can't you just accept that many of us have other options? Not to mention there are many that are self-employed and have ability to work in yoga pants or exercise at 2pm. I also see many people jogging in the middle of the day or at coffee shops and my first instinct is to ask why these people aren't at work. Then I remember that there are lots of scenarios out there. I am also thankful for it for the two times I do go into the office a week. I read a study that every 5,000 workers that commute add 15-20 minutes to one's commute. [/quote]
