So you're a 8-5 shop.. not open outside those hours - if a restaurant has a problem at 7PM, they're just screwed until the next day?
that's where the On-call comes in.
Sounds like a solution right there.
Explain?
Take call on your days that you have to leave.
Then we wouldn't have an on call rotation -
I.e I would be on call every other week bascially and still still have to do my on call rotation.seriously - did you read what you just wrote?
No - you propose to be oncall on your early weeks, and everyone else splits the other week - at least until you get different child care.
are you salary? if you are, you are likely getting screwed.
Yep sure did- thanks for checking though.
Hourly employee - you ask me that every time we talk about my job.
yet you don't punch a clock - uh, what?
I guess JB doesn't punch one either... Though I don't know how much time he bills direct to his company versus billing to clients...
I fill out a time sheet - But no clocking in or out is not a thing.
so they trust that, but not your ability to work from home.. /sigh.

They never gave me an answer on working from home on those days.
Where did you get that they don't trust me to work from home?
I've worked from home in the past..

really I don't see a reason for you to be in the office at all.
get the whole company on a live chat service - tons to choose from, some free some cost.. and get a phone system that allows you to have phones anywhere, have a phone at home - and a client for the phone system on your cell - done. Life is easy.
at least it should be. -

at least it should be.I don't either, During my interview I even brought Soft Phone that we could use to dial into the PBX and use our extension rather than Using our own cell phone, Didnt go anywhere .
The more I think about it, The love for the work does not out weigh the ridiculous procedures - I get that.
But for the time being, This is what I am doing , It is my Job/career at this time and I'm going to make the most out of it,because This is the only "Real Experience" I have that can be put into a resume. -

Generally there isn't. Probably nothing more than management that enjoys the feeling of power they get from controlling peoples' lives and not liking their employees very much.
As an employer, I can tell you, it takes a lot of dislike for people for me to want to spend money to screw with their lives just to make them suffer. They are happier and more productive at home, and cost less.

It might, if the money also made up for it, advancement, or other factors. But you are early on in your career, have a child, and this job is putting your career at risk. That, I think, is the real factor we are all worried about, even if we don't always vocalize it well.

a customer failed their trust-wave PCI test - literally because "PC could not be found"
LOL, quality PCI test there.
Typical actually. If the PCI scan cannot get a ping response from the IP, they fail it assuming you lied about the IP.
I have a firewall group setup to allow ping responses form the PCI scan netwokr specifically because of this.

This is also not a given. Many people cannot be more productive at home. They do not have the self discipline

Which may be where the issue is coming from - They've tried it in the past.

With the weather in Utah sending loads of people home early for the day, we are talking the chance to do some massive maintenance very impromptu. Going to be a very chill "routine work" kind of night with @valentina

For those that don't believe in...
- Gathering their own metrics and doing their own homework.
- Using industry data
- Common sense

Not a given on an individual basis. But on average, it is a given.
It's also misleading because they often find certain people to not be productive at home, but ignore that the same people were often not productive in the office, either.

Phone support positions are especially good for sending people home, because answering a phone is answering a phone.

Sure, but you might want to control the background noises.

For the normal day time hours - Will is only having the kid at home after 3:30... so not much of a concern there.

Just back from a little walk. Took the kids to the playground.
