[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but that is because I don’t want to be micromanaged whether in an office or at home. I am a professional and I can manage my workload without someone needing to know how many times I pee, or when I need a stretch break, or when I need to take a phone call from my doctor, or when I eat lunch, etc. I am a high performer. I respond to emails and IMs in a short time period. I attend meetings. If my boss needs more than that it’s not a good fit.[/quote]

You aren't the employ they need to monitor. Many are not like you and spend a lot of time not working. It is these people who are ruining WFH for many of us.[/quote]
Why don't you just enforce performance standards?  Write someone up for not being responsive or missing deadlines or not being productive.  Do the same thing you would do in the office.

Because it is easier to game the system when you WFH. And not every business has the ability/technology/money to implement measures to track this. Sure, you can write people up for being non responsive, but if they get THEIR work done, and don't help the people who rely on that person, that is a slippery slope. Success in business isn't just about individual contribution, but about how the individual contributes to the whole.

Some of us are self-motivated and willing to work hard to contribute on all fronts, home or in office. Many will take advantage of WFH given the chance.[/quote]

It's really not a slippery slope, if their job is to contribute to the team and they're not doing so then write them up and fire them and be done with it.  We have these same people in the office that blow off responding to e-mails and it's the same situation.[/quote]
