Working from home

[SlugSlinger]

We were directed to work from home yesterday. I am blessed to have a job that will allow this. I stopped by Office Max yesterday and bought a 32" monitor. I could get use to this!

Anybody else told to stay home from work?

I already work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. It's amazing! That one day in the office is like murder haha

The question I have is this. If you were you’re boss, would you pay you for the amount of work being accomplished at home versus at work? I had a difficult time staying productive at home.

I was given the option and elected to come to work. So did one of my direct reports. The other is teleworking 2 days a week. His work assignments are exactly the same and so long as he gets it done, should I care?

I'm pretty fortunate to have a full studio at home to work from. Corporate hit me with a mandatory two week quarantine when we get home from Colorado. Could just use PTO and go fishing, but all the lakes in my neck of the woods are apparently closed. Guess I'll do my work and save those water days for later this year.

I'm actually more productive at home and able to work the full amount of days available at home because of that

So all of you would keep yourself on at the same rate of pay if the only option was working from home? When I did it for a while I kept getting distracted. Maybe some of you guys screw off at work so much it doesn’t have an impact. [emoji12]

I have actually passed up 3-4 possible promotions because it would require going back the office for 2ish years. I've been doing this for 5 years now and just can't really imagine going back to the real world and working from the office. The time saved, gas, etc definitely negates the raise. Plus I work tons of OT so that really helps.

Nope. If you were paying them for the expected work and it was completed timely, I wouldn’t care. Interesting concept to me since I used to teach some time management and productivity classes. I realize it’s more popular now than when I retired 9 years ago.
