QuoteWhy is it the days I work from home

No such thing as woeking from home.  When you are home you don't work, just like when you are in work you don't sit on your ar$e watching Sky (unless you are a barman)

::) ::) If you have responsibilities and deadlines you work, if you don't you'll soon be taken to task.

QuoteIf you have responsibilities and deadlines you work

In my experience the ppl working from home have usually already the job done before leaving work and then say they'll 'finish it off at home'.  Don't kid me that you put in an 8 hour day at home.  1-2 hours tops.   Working from home should receive half pay since there's less than half the work done.   

We put it to the test when we asked a manager who was working from home the following day to leave what he was doing and work on a one-day assignment from home, probably a good 6 hours work,  to be handed in the following morning.   

Believe it or not he opted to come into work the next day instead!

Why is it if you are a doctor, lawyer or dentist you run a practice and if you are a grocer, fish monger or butcher you run a business/shop?

Because you practise medicine/dentistry/law

where as you sell fish, groceries or meat.

I'm with you Arthur, I've done a good few days working from home and you get 100% concentration there, rather than being interrupted by phones, people etc at work.  My work is trying to encourage people to do it where they can.

It's all about trusting people to get the work done - if there's no trust, then both will agree you're in the wrong job!

Peaches and pears are easy peasy. What about a kebab?
