qwertyqwertyqwerty,

Working from home and Internet goes out for an entire 5 minutes at 9:00am: Oh well, better luck getting things done tomorrow then. Goes back to sleep for the day

Must be nice, I have to clock out if my Internet goes out at home.

nilloc,

Just get a salaried job, where you can still get paid while not working, in exchange for working 70 hour weeks (30 hours for free) when an impossible deadline is set.

NABDad,

in exchange for working 70 hour weeks (30 hours for free) when an impossible deadline is set which is the normal state.

FTFY

Kalothar,

Ahhh, fun at my job if you miss a certain number of days you get temporarily moved to hourly till the end of year

MNByChoice,

Can this be gamed for massive overtime?

Also, that sucks and seems borderline illegal. Obviously, that depends on your local laws and socioeconomic status.

I would have gamed it at my last web dev job. Take a nice 3-4 week vacation before a Big Crunch and then get hourly and overtime when it counts.

qwertyqwertyqwerty, (edited )

Eh, I’m salaried, so there are opposite days, where I’m working well past 9pm on a weekday. There are also days where I have to work regardless of my home’s power/Internet status. If I lose those on one of those days, my office is going mobile for the day, yay!

EDIT: I’ll also add that I one of the lucky few that has a boss that measures my performance in productivity instead of hours behind a desk. It’s a beautiful thing to experience.

iamericandre,

When I was in the office absolutely, now at home if my power and internet are out I can’t even watch tv.

At least you can do something on your phone

iamericandre,

As soon as I hit submit on this comment I realized I was holding a tv in my hand that connects to the internet.

Kalothar,

I always have a book on my desk. Gotta be prepared

littlecolt,

Or just sit and relax. I feel like people have lost this during my lifetime. Ive never lost the ability to just take a deep breath, lean back, and enjoy some quiet. I mean, if I was WANTING to watch a movie or something, there would be disappointment, but if the reason I can’t is beyond my control, it’s a waste of time to dwell on it and be upset. Right?

Gotta maximize your downtime. It’s in too short a supply as it is

brenticus,

Also handy for taking regular breaks, staying occupied in meetings you don’t need to be in, waiting for your computer to run updates for IT, and giving up at 2pm but not wanting to obviously stop responding to messages!

technicalogical,

At the office they paid, at home I only get an hour before they stop paying and expect me to make up the time later.
