Ask Slashdot: How Do You Find Jobs That Offer Working From Home?
jez9999 writes: I'm a software developer in the UK, and I've found that it's very rare (maybe 5% of the time) to find an employer that will even consider any working from home, let alone for the majority of the time. I see it as a win-win; you're able to work in the home environment you are most productive in, and you can use the time you would've been commuting to work a bit longer for the employer. Not only that, but you're not adding to road congestion either. Skype, etc. make communication with coworkers a snap these days. So how do you go about finding homeworking jobs? Is it better to demand it from the get-go, or wait a few months and then ask for it? Is it more common than 5% of jobs in the US (in which case I guess it's a cultural thing the UK needs to catch up with)?
She informs me of which calls are important so I take the dogs and keep them in the bedroom with me so that they are quiet if the doorbell rings, etc. Since I work from home too but I'm more flexible I make lunch at the time she agreed to have it
This more commonly known as being pussy whipped. Like most other ignorant men, you seem to be very proud of being the whipping boy. Did you also take her last name when you were married? Did she tell you that she won't have kids because you can't breast feed?
But tell me - why doesn't your wife work? That way she'd leave you alone.
In your tiny brain the only way to communicate with someone is by not communicating and convincing/forcing them into something they may not want, or need, to do? You have much bigger problems than just being whipped. I highly recommend that you get a quick grasp on psychology and human nature before bad things happen.
