[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GM CEO just told people get back to work.

Bottom line way back in 2007 my company started remote. Any employee with children was required to show proof of child care or a nanny, my facilities dept. would visit home to set up office and ensure they had an appropriate place to work at home and had to be online business hours and available.

Most women were looking for free child care or run errands or go bus stop.

My co worker did get approval. He had a home office identical to work, one kid in after school program and they rocked it 830 - 530 pm every day.

Most washed out .

Right? I unabashedly pick my kid up from the bus stop on WFH days. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes out of my day and she's totally self sufficient while I continue to work. I'm not paying for aftercare because someone has a problem with me or my DH being away from our desk for 10-15 minutes. The point of WFH is not to be in heads down mode from 8:30-5:30 everyday. If that's the expectation, then I will refuse to answer any email outside of those hours and see how that goes. [/quote]

That is how I feel.  I am in a field that can be incredibly focused on time spent working (like you get a warning if you show up at 9:03 instead of 9 am).  What managers don’t seem to realize is that no one will work a minute past working hours if you are that micromanaging.  So they ask for people to stay later or join meetings in the evenings and people say no.  [/quote]
