[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Lord are there people who actually believe that someone shopping at Target at 2 pm is not capable of being supremely productive for their company? How antiquated. [/quote]

2pm is still in prime work hours, [i]for all of the US[/i].  NO you cannot be supremely productive from Target mid-day.

There I said it.

No I'm not a dinosaur, grandma, or meemaw. I'm still in my 30s.

You don’t know there are 3 different time zones?  What if I primarily work with staff in London.  Since it’s 8 PM there am I allowed to do my Target run at 2 PM so I can hold 7 AM calls with the London team?

You don’t seem to understand that technology improves efficiencies.  [/quote]

I do 7am meetings London, 11-4 NY and towards end of Day San Fran. Sunday nights Asia and India.

My U.K. people usually available to 5pm DC time. My San Fran People till 2 am DC time. We all our online 16 hours a day. I don’t sleep much I am online 18 hours a day 7 days a week.

I only work 8-9 hours a day but I am available. And if I did go to target I have laptop in car so can use hotspot.

That is how real remote works as companies are open 24/7 and staff is all over the globe.

You know... I can usually just ignore the gratuitous digs at government employees, but it's been a really long two weeks at work.  I've been working an enormous amount of time and responding to issues 24/7 - doing things that you as a citizen absolutely want me doing.  Because the federal government actually works with people all over the globe (and in space even!) just as much as your precious corporate office does.
So shove it.
