There are IT departments inside of non-IT companies that would love to have this sort of luxury. But with department heads that would have their heads explode if you try to explain this to them.

- Spooky23 11y agoGood managers will give employees the latitude to do this sort of thing, formally or not. Fetishism of metrics and ITSM bullshit makes it harder to do these days, but it's still worth it for morale alone.
- jupiter90000 11y agoAlso, slightly off topic, but for similar reasons I can't figure out why bosses want IT workers that mostly sit at their desk on a computer to work at the office (instead of remote locations) for a full 40+ a week. It's like there is distrusting management who thinks if they didn't walk the hallways once per week at random and see people staring at their computers then the same work wouldn't happen. Let these people work alot more wherever they want if their work isn't location dependent.
- sqldba 11y agoI saw a fascinating comment a few weeks ago that, why does a company think it's fine for you to "work from home" when you're on call all the time to fix their problems; but not the rest of the time when you're fixing their problems?!
