[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3948568, member: 51836"] I have worked in the IT business for a long time now and I am going to be very blunt about this, the work isn't like other jobs at all . Even when I was in an office setting its not like most folks were working themselves to death in a conventional sense. Out of a typical 9 to 10 hour work day I probably work 4 hours of that day, my work load has not changed at all since starting to work from home compared to when I was in the office , the big difference is I am more efficient because people no longer can pop in my door wasting my time hence I meet deadlines faster . I do have more meetings now than I did working on prem full time , Many of those meetings I mentioned are meetings where my attendance is required because I am stake holder in a given project but those meetings are informational for me and there are no action items which need to be taken care of on my end .You can only do the work in my business you have to do . There are lots of projects I am involved with on a given day but many of the action items and deliverables which are my responsibility can only be completed when someone else has done their work . This isn't some kind of manual labor or line work in a kitchen where if you have time to be leanin , you have time to be cleanin. , which in my mind is where many come to the idea people are slacking working from home , in most cases some efficiencies have been gained by working from home .
