Neither of those is a good thing in my opinion.
My boss is the type who will work to all hours - often get emails from him that he'd sent after 11pm. That's not healthy in my book. There's a lack of structure there and an attitude bordering almost on obsession that can't be healthy from a mental perspective.
Agree with this.
I'm not saying it's a good thing or not, was simply addressing the poster who thinks flexible wfh means a standard working day, but with people darting off for coffees, picking up kids etc. That's bollocks. Unless you have numbnuts management you'd simply not be able to get away with it as you'd not be as productive. Or if you were, it'd mean you busted a gut to get all tasks done and also fit other things in.
The stats at our place are up, with a more flexible approach, where you do your seven or so hours across the day however which way you want.
Most people who like working from home do so because they can get around child care issues and not have horrendous commutes, which is essentially dead/wasted time.
