[quote=Anonymous]As an MB who works for the federal government and teleworks regularly, I hope that the nannies on this board who object to driving to their places of work when the weather is bad enough that the government offers the option of liberal leave or telework were upfront with their employers about this objection.  If this is something that people object to, they should be upfront about so the employer understands that the issue.  When I teleworked last Friday, I made sure the driveway and walkway were clear for my nanny but I expected her to come to work unless she didn't feel comfortable (per our contract).

Also, to the extent some people are objecting to people taking advantage of the benefit of teleworking, why are people surprised that someone would take advantage of of one of their job benefits?? I bet that if a nanny had the option of teleworking, they would exercise it too.  Just like how I hear a bonus is standard industry practice for a nanny, teleworking is becoming more standard in the government.  I don't get a bonus most years, but I do get the option of teleworking.  My nanny gets a bonus every year, but no teleworking.  Its just a matter of what your job benefits are/the industry practice is.  It is not something that should be making people so mad.  I don't get mad at my nanny because she gets a bonus and I don't.
