When my husband does this it's because he's dialed into the office around 4 am to work on something and doesn't want to break his groove. He grabs an early lunch, then heads in by noon to participate in the obligatory office politicking.

It works really well for days with doctors appointments, etc.

Better commute, more flex hours (you pick up the kids?)

The main benefit to that schedule would to driving back home in non-rush hour traffic. In my situation, that would save me an extra 45 minutes per day in traffic.

I'm looking at my schedule and I can work in the office for 1/2 day and telecommute for 1/2 day. Is there any point to such an arrangement? It seems like it would defeat the entire point of telecommuting.
