For purely "creative" positions, we don't care how, where and when the employee works. Especially when working on challenging features I understand that some people like to somehow "retreat" to think (I work like this).
You like to work in the middle of busy café? No problem.
You like to work from home? No problem.
You like to work from 9 to 5? No problem.
You like a variation of the above depending on your mood? No problem.
The only thing we ask is to keep the communication open, ie, don't fall into an autistic "I never show up" way of work.
Which leads me to the following.
When there are meetings, when we're at a customer or when there is any kind of external constraint we have absolutely no tolerance for lateness or approximation.
- ownagefool 13y agoYeah, while I'll happily argue against keeping hours or working from home where appropriate, one of the bigger issues is that some of people arguing for this are lazy or disorganized. On the plus side, these people are going to be the same whether they're in your office or not, thus I've never actually believed keeping them in the office will serve any real benefit, you need employees you can trust, either way.
