Honest answer, I’m more productive on the tasks I need to do, but have a lot of free time to surf the web and watch tv. Also have more opportunities to do things around the house that I’d have to do after work. Finally, it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my grandsons as my wife watches them on Monday and Tuesday.
What working from home does for me is cuts down on the other meetings and conversations I don’t need to be in, or get sucked in because of my possible programs relationship to others. That takes a lot of time away from what work I need to accomplish.
That being said, as a Program Manager in an Air Force acquisition office, I’m doing more oversight on our prime contractors in regards to cost, schedule and requirements decomposition and not doing the actual work so it makes it easier to work from home. As it stands right now, I only go in for important face to face meetings or TDY to the contractors worksite for meetings and program reviews.
