Clock in early enough for a decent turnover from night crew, work about 12hrs or so. Walk out as soon as I finish turning over with night crew.
Three days a week and I choose which three. No way I could go back to 8-5/M-F job. |

Unless that’s industry standard the OP’s employer will continue to compete with employers that offer WFH and likely lose out as evidenced by these repeated threads about the issue. It’s management’s fault for failing to adapt to a changing market place. Tale as old as time. |

I'll admit I'm getting old, but I'm astounded by her line of thinking.
NO WHERE I've worked on a professional basis would this have been considered acceptable. I'd never expect to be allowed to leave two hours early on the regular. |

Thank God I got out of management almost 10 years ago, before this bullshit took hold.
I managed a group department of office workers with 35 women and 3 men. I also managed a field services group with close to 100 techs (only 2 women). The women in the office accounted for 90+% of all my HR/scheduling related headaches, despite being only 25% of my employees. It was a pain in the ass back then...when everyone EXPECTED to show up at office EVERY day and there was no pronoun bullshit. I talk with friends that are still doing the corporate grind and every one of them 1] are afraid to say anything to anyone, 2] feel like overall productivity has dropped by 25% - 50%. |

Originally Posted By Marie: We finally found someone who said she understood working from home was not an option. We even had her sign something that she agreed WFH was not an option. Had the required experience and knew her stuff. Her references had nothing but praise. This job is an entry writer for customs clearances. Hard 8-5 hours in the office. She lasted two days. First day, all she needed was training on our software and getting up to speed on particular customers. She did really well. At 3 pm, she hands me her files and said she had to get her kids from school. Unusual on first day, but maybe there was an emergency. I asked her the next morning if everything was OK, and she said yes. Same thing day two at 3pm. Gives me files and says she has to get her kids from school. I told her we would have to talk in the morning. That meeting the third morning was an eye opener. There were no emergencies requiring her to get kids from school. It was regular pickup. She expected to work 6 hours and get paid for 8, complete with benefits. I told her we were more than happy to keep her on part-time, but that meant no benefits. She refused, saying she needed the money and the benefits. She was let go right then. Accounting cut her a check for the two days work and buh bye! Nearly every office job I have ever had after college, I have gotten work dumped on me by coworkers with kids. They were always given permission to leave early, come in late, take off in the middle of the day - anything that involved the kids, or so they said, and NEVER had to make the time off. While if I took off a few hours for a doctor appointment, I had to work late/through my lunch if I didn’t want to lose vacation time. First time I’ve ever had control over the parent dumping work on me and you’re damned right I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. You’re paid for 8 hours of work and if you can’t do it, buh bye. EDIT: she handed me files she couldn’t finish because she was leaving early. The job is salaried. Women fought for a place in the workplace and then are the first to shit on each other for trying to do both. Your mindset is the very reason this woman probably needed to work. She’d probably be much happier if our economy and society was returned to a system where a single income could support a family and a woman’s place was at home with her children and running her household. Instead strong independent women ruined American society and the family unit so they can complain about having to pick up the slack of other women in the workplace. While I hate lazy employees, I won’t shit on a mother for caring for her children. |

She chose to reproduce. Her kids are not my problem. If she can't fulfill the job as it was presented to her, which was 8-5, in the office, then buh bye. She didn't hold up her end of the agreement. So are you again stuck doing the "excellent" work she got done in the 6 hours she was there? Would that not be better than the 2 she left you with? I'm wondering if you just damned your face to spite your nose because of some "its not fair" hogwash. your employers are ham stringing you, you will not get full accesses to the best options because of strict policies regarding WFH. Without it, you could potentially even poach a trained employee from a competitor. good firing tactically, but maybe not strategically. |

Me and coworker are back to doing it. She was offered part time and refused it after she left early her first two days. Said she needed the full time money and benefits. Yet, she expected to work part time hours. Nope. |

What is this idea that "got my work done in 6 hours, I should be free to go"? The expectation is to work 8 hours/day -> 40 hours week, and there is always plenty more to do.
I agree that sitting around for two hours killing time is stupid, but surely there are other projects/tasks the can be used to fill that time productively. |

She was offered part time after the two days leaving early. She didn’t want it. Said she needs full time pay and benefits. Why should we keep her if she can’t work the full day yet expects to leave early every day, still getting paid for full day. Nooe. |
