No you wouldnt take a single dime off your pay check. never say that out loud. NEVER. they are probably under paying you as we speak no matter how content you may be with your pay. you have no idea how people are being paid to do absolutely nothing. So no, i want to work from home with even better pay. why? i'm saving you money. and i will be more efficient, its already been statistically proven.
but thats the problem. they can actually get you to produce more if you worked from home. the stats are there. they dont want you to leave the work place because they FEEL as if they can't manage without micro managing. they do not know how to actually be a good MANAGER (interview and hire top talent, come up with strategies on how to approach projects, problems, how to not just put out fires but how to be fire retardant, and lastly how to help their employees advance their skills and probably their positions). if you're not doing those things well, you're not a good manager. just checking people's time cards talking about you're late or why did you miss another day. is something they are not needed for. the computers can tell you how late you were and how many days you have missed. they are not needed for this. but this is the easiest thing a manager can do. and most managers go this route for that reason. they are not good managers, and their managers are not good managers which means they have never been taught how to be good managers. so its not technically all of their faults. But this is the real reason they dont want you working from the house. they FEEL that they will lose control aka not be able to micromanage you any more and now they will have to actually manage you for real.
and there's the other problem. because you dont want to go home to your family, we all have to suffer. terrible. real selfish thinking. and thats actually how people think. they have said as much" i dont want to work from home. so why should you be able to?" Like wait. why you hating on me? you want to run away from home for 8 hrs a day. thats on you. you made the choice to have kids. thats on you. you made the choice to marry a person you dont like. thats wasnt my choice.
That office space is the safe haven where brehs go to escape from nagging ass wives, and whiney children. That must be protected at all costs at least until the kids are school age.
you are a manual labor job. so it makes sense. if we all worked from home. either you would have to drive a bit to go to our homes. and get paid more for it. or we would have to come to hubs in our areas to fix our computers. or obviously worse case scenario go back into the office to meet you there.
exactly. its not micromanaging when you screw up. its called coaching. say you're new to the job or new to a job within your job duties. lets say you eff up big time. the manager is supposed to take a lot of that heat, because he/she didnt do a good enough job training you. some will say but but what if my employee is just lazy or dumb. thats even more on you the manager, YOU PICKED HIM/HER.
i can tap your shoulder thru a zillion different chat options. i can also pick up the phone and call you. remember everyone in your office isnt right there next to you anyway. you still have to pick up the phone and send emails. MOST of these types of jobs have you sending zillions of emails. so that tells you, you can communicate well via text, email if everyone takes it seriously.
I'm stopping you from working from home?
you shouldnt need any LEVERAGE to work from home. pay attention to the original thread. IT doesnt make logical sense to work in an office building if you use computers all day long. It doesnt make economic sense, it doesnt make ecological sense.I'm stopping you from working from home?
Free tip, your ability to work from home is between you and your employer. You out here pointing fingers online when the reality is that you lack the leverage to demand wfh. Maybe get your certs up...
I can work from home (many of my colleagues do) but simply choose not to
