[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

First off, I can't stand people that are "teleworking" but when I ask for information or call or email, I get a "dunno check with so so" "sent from my iphone." I also can't stand people that are "teleworking" and then I hear kids, dogs, birds, starbucks baristas, and street sounds in the background where these people are obviously not working.  And sorry to say it, but this is totally the older folks abusing the system in my office, everyone that's younger knows our jobs aren't guaranteed, our GS increases aren't guaranteed, and you best damn make sure you are working, meeting deadlines, and being always available.  Now kindly move on since your snark is at this point just clogging my thread.

Second, the wish for full time telework has everything to do with location - sorry I don't want to be chained to the 9 to 5 little brown desk on K street in the building with the blue door and the safetrack orange line metro. That's a bs expectation for work that can be done anywhere with a good wifi, a cell phone, and quiet. Parents are not moving, I've tried convincing them.  DH and I have been in DC for over a decade and lived in small one bedroom apartments and studios to be close to our work. I want to be closer to my parents and get a house or a place with more space.  We can't afford anything in this area. I can realistically have a child in our current one bedroom until he starts walking, being mobile.

Sweetie, this is life. No one wants to be chained to a desk in a crappy location, but that's life. Your employer doesn't care that you want to live near your parents or you don't like your commute or whatever. Time to put on your big girl panties and suck it up and make tough choices like a grown up. Want to live near your mommy and daddy? Take a crappy job. Want more space than you can afford? Move to the burbs.[/quote]
