[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this thread has evolved into a bunch of telework-abusers trying to justify their abuse of the system. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You don't get paid to pick up your kids/do laundry/clean your house/take time off/go to the park/etc. while others are actually working during telework hours.[/quote]

You are right.  I literally don't get paid for that time because my telework days are part-time days, which many people seem to forget.  I am done at 2 and can go anywhere I please on MY OWN TIME. [/quote]

So your comment doesn't apply here.[/quote]

It does because sometimes someone will be snippy with me about not getting an immediate response and complained to my boss.  They didn't even know I was part time.  I guess for seven years I'd been responsive enough they thought I was full time...so I can't be that much of a slacker![/quote]

It still doesn't apply because OP's coworker isn't part time.  See?  But thanks for your participation. [/quote]

It might.  OP doesn't seem to or claim to know the details of coworker's arrangement and admitted there is some flex scheduling for the full time workers.  Also, this thread veered into "let's bash anyone who works at home and doesn't respond instantly to email" in the many intervening pages discussing aspects of telework.  Plenty of people are telling OP that there may be good reason for the response time.

My team knows to call me if something is urgent, it seems like a no-brainer resolution.  Wonder why OP hasn't bothered and wants to report coworker instead?  Weird.[/quote]
