Most of my day is one-on-one in-person appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119837 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 12:43:48 +0000 mamabolt 1119837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, half of my coworkers telecommute full time, and the ones in my local office all WFH at least once a week. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119797 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:47:31 +0000 Sapphiresun 1119797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Totally impossible. I need to access a secure government computer system, and be able to respond to other peoples emergencies wherever they happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119791 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:42:25 +0000 Dapple Grey 1119791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119771 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:18:17 +0000 LemonLong 1119771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a full time telecommuter anyways. I am in meetings most of the day, but I use a soft phone/webex for them. I manage a team of analysts, and communicate mostly via a group chat and IM with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119763 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:03:03 +0000 cascademom 1119763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home two days a week. The most I can work from home or choose to if something comes up is 3 days a week. Two days a week gives me enough time to get groceries, do laundry, and meal plan while working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119759 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:58:05 +0000 Pepper 1119759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I may be working from home through the end of the year, actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119757 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:56:36 +0000 NavyRN2012 1119757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Impossible. I'm a charge nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1119752 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:48:40 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1119752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yes! That's what I'm hoping for. My previous job was all paranoid about security though and nothing could be done outside the building. I'm hoping this one is a bit more laid back. The people seem to be a little...saner :P So I'm hopeful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1116346 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:42:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 1116346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>techincally yes, I can remote in to my comptuer from home and have a company issued cell phone. During extreme weather we are allowed to work from home or if we have a sick child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1116278 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:24:20 +0000 Bluebonnet 1116278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. Technically I could do most everything from home, but its critical that I'm in the office for important meetings and deadlines. </p> <p>I do work from home some (planned), and sometimes unplanned (when LO is sick, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1116272 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:22:30 +0000 MrsF 1116272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm an RN in an ICU. It would be so nice to have that option for emergencies since DH can't do it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1116261 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 09:20:05 +0000 BSB 1116261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OldEnglandMama: I'm a bench scientist, as well, but I have a laptop since I travel. I can do meetings and paperwork from home if it's a non-study day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1114197 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:58:07 +0000 CottonCandy 1114197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I totally wish it were an option for me, but it never will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to/page/2#post-1114113 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:34:05 +0000 deactivated_account 1114113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm staying at my current place of employment because of the singular reason that my boss promised to let me have utmost flexbility when I'm blessed with my own LO. But I know the problems that @mrsjyw: described will arise. But like she said, I'm so greatful for the flexibility. My DH has a very inflexible job, so its a must for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1114096 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:29:11 +0000 SweetMamaM 1114096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teacher here too, so no... Although when sick I have to plan all my missed lessons out for the sub so I kind of feel like I do anyway. Hubby has to go in for part of his role but can deal with a lit of his admin from home so he's slightly more flexible. That's why he ended up going to a baby sleep seminar instead of me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113904 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:37:12 +0000 su9su9 1113904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. The client expects us to be on-site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113844 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:24:01 +0000 Lindsay05 1113844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, i work with injured people so I am not bringing those clients to my home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113823 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:18:57 +0000 blackbird 1113823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It's a nice option but I don't use it often at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113382 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 12:00:53 +0000 MrsTiz 1113382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a spur of the moment type thing. It could probably be arranged for me to do some of my work from home with a remote login, but never if I just woke up and couldn't make it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113368 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:58:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 1113368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But it's really really hard to do . . . way too many documents at the office to make it a practical option. I plan when I am going to work at home a schlep it all home with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113366 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:57:29 +0000 Beebug 1113366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's definitely not officially allowed, but my bosses are great and I can stay home to work if needed for whatever reason. However given that my office is 3km down the road and I am much more productive there, going in is more ideal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113360 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:56:45 +0000 ShootingStar 1113360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I can work from home whenever I want to. Though it would probably be frowned upon if you did it too often. I expect if I go full term I'll WFH the last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113262 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:34:44 +0000 nana87 1113262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at my old job, I could work from home as long as I didn't have meetings (and even then, I could call in if it was an emergency and I couldn't make it in). I'm a grad student now so it's very much my own schedule, aside from teaching and occasional meetings (finished classes over a year ago). dh works from home always--he was able to keep his job when we moved for my grad program and works off a company lap top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113261 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:34:44 +0000 Smurfette 1113261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could if R was sick or something but they don't really like people to. Plus I never take my laptop home at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113251 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:32:28 +0000 HabesBabe 1113251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I 100% work from home (my company is a video conferencing giant, so it's kind of our thing).</p> <p>Good: no commute, no dress code (except I Ron Burgundy-it when I have video calls), get to spend time with LO, get to run errands during my lunch</p> <p>Bad: no interaction with the outside world, other than virtual... it kinda sucks not having actual coworkers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113227 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:27:30 +0000 IRunForFun 1113227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I do probably once every two weeks or so. My job is really flexible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113206 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:22:50 +0000 Glitter 1113206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have remote connections to the office network, office laptops, office phones. Well tracked! Most staff can work from home whenever an emergency comes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/on-any-given-day-could-you-work-from-home-if-you-had-to#post-1113199 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:21:43 +0000 teamjse 1113199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my boss is extremely flexible. </p>
