[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on. We all know the ways people abuse WFH - either ourselves, our spouses, our friends or neighbors or some combo of the above.

Anyone who says this isn’t true is totally lying. [/quote]

Maybe in a job where there is no measure of your productivity, you cannot fathom that there are some of us who simply need to get a certain amount of work done, and if we are not getting it done, we are held accountable.

I cannot “abuse” WFH because I need to finish my work.  If my work is not finished, it does not matter where I am.[/quote]

Do you do housework or carpools or meal prep during the work day?[/quote]
How does it matter as long as they are getting the work done? They are not galley slaves.[/quote]

It matters if they are paid to work 40 hours a week and they aren’t. Many of you are arguing that a work week should be any length you desire as long as you “get your work done.” First, that is not as easily measured in some jobs. Second, that’s not how salaries are currently structured. You are paid in hours, not work product. If you ARE paid by your work product amount, I have no objection but many are not. [/quote]

And how do you know that the people doing housework or carpools or meal prep aren’t putting in 40 hours? I do all those things with the time I save by not commuting.

The only orgs that should hate WFH are those who can’t be arsed to quantify productivity and results. Otherwise it’s swiftly obvious who’s working hard and who’s not - no matter how clean someone’s house is. [/quote]
