Debate House Prices

    I'm sure it is for some - it's not easy to monitor.

    However, some of us are conscientious. I work mainly from home. I probably work even more hours this way, often working late into the evening and on days off.

    The bottom line is delivery. If you can't deliver within timescales agreed with your boss while working from home then that would be used as evidence of shirking. In truth, most people are much more productive at home, due to the less noise and distractions. The problem is convincing control-freakish senior management of this.
