[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey guys. I responding to the question of why I chose to telework Friday.  I didn't even say I have a nanny. I disagree that it was an acknowledgement that the roads were better to stay of. I teleworker because it's better to telework - no commute, stay in my jammies, throw some laundry in during the day. I would always prefer to if given the option. Snowing or not. [/quote]If you don't employ a nanny, why would you even respond on this thread? You are acknowledging that going to work on a snow day is a hassle-don't you think it's a hassle for the nanny you may or may not employ? [/quote]

No if you read again, I did not acknowledge that going in on a snow day is a hassle. I said I would always prefer to telework because it's easier. That doesn't mean I think I'm entitled to it or that I think that makes me better than a nanny. It means plain and simple that I'd rather telework than not telework.  I'd also rather not work at all, as would most people I presume. But when you have a job, people are relying on you and you do your best under the circumstances to get to work. It's a major benefit to telework, absolutely. I'm thrilled that my job allows telework. As a nanny, you don't have that option. That stinks and if you can't come in, you can't come in. But don't be implying that anyone teleworking Friday automatically did so because it was so unsafe to be driving. Most people probably did so because like I said, telework is better than not teleworking.

It bugs me when people read into things. Like the nanny who said that if I telework but expect my nanny to still come in, that means I think I'm better than my nanny. No, it means my job gave me the option to telework and it means that if my nanny feels it's safe to get to her job, I expect her to come so that I can work. That's all it means. [/quote]
