[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

When did London relocate to the US?[/quote]

The point is that NO 2 PM is NOT prime working hours for everyone in the US.  It’s like SAHMs have no understanding of the workplace. [/quote]

But it is to MOST. I'm working with people who exclusively work with people on the east coast and they are doing all sorts of personal things during the day and emailing me back at 11:00 pm or even 2:00 am. How is that ok? It most certainly isn't productive since I have to wait 24 hours on their answer to get the rest of my job done. [/quote]

If you need a quick answer you shouldn't be sending email.  You should be using one of the other zillions of ways to contact your coworkers.  24 hour email response is perfectly acceptable.[/quote]

They are not working!!!! They don't answer when I call on teams or when I call their cell, either. And depending on what the email message contains, it could be extremely inappropriate to wait 24 hours to answer it. See it's people like you that are causing people to have to go back to the office. If you'd just actually work when you're at home, maybe they'd let us do it.[/quote]

NP I agree with you! I was at a work training and our fed HR was complaining about the expectation that they respond to emails in 24hours. I found it so inappropriate. I'm customer facing too and think 24 hours is reasonable. If I can't figure out an answer, I still email back and let people know I'm digging into this. [/quote]
