As long as the work gets done. I manage a large apartment building and live next door (provided by employer). I have no set hours but all tasks and duties must be done. How I schedule them is up to me. I have no set time to start or finish, and I often have to work some on the weekends. I take comp time when things are slow if am called on to put in excessive hours. It also should be noted that in my job and that of work-from-home moms that we are always on 'stand-by' if needed. This has to count for something.

Oh, and if you are someone grousing about spending a "months grocery bill" having to return to the office.
Don't complain, get one of the above and pack your lunch instead of eating out ever day.
Just say'n.

"Shut up and get your ass back to work or I'll find somebody that will" is sometimes an appropriate answer to employee concerns.
Of course, it has been said, I can be a bit crude, effective and efficient, but crude.
Such a cross to bear. Tsk, tsk.Exactly. We just received our return to work directive last week for all corporate employees. They aren't even requiring every day, just three days a week, but people are whining and gnashing their teeth. Meanwhile, the retail employees never had the privilege of working from home. They've been at the retail locations every day, even through COVID and the corporate employees are behaving like it's the end of the world that they actually have to go into the office three days a week, as if they never knew the honeymoon would eventually end.
Good friend has been working almost exclusively from home for almost 4 years now. He is more productive, and no longer has to deal with being at the office at 5am or midnight for conference calls with people in other time zones. (He works in customs compliance, so half the people he deals with are in Asia or Europe.) His employer seems fine with it, since they announced last summer that it is going to be permanent unless an employee explicitly ASKS to return to the office.Actually, its more like gaining some actual productivity from their employees...but yes, its their call and not yours. So find another job if you don't like the one you have.
Ooops, sorry....that's self responsibility and I know you hate that....
Exactly.....sometimes the office overhead is an unreasonable expense.If your job involves working at a computer all day, what does it matter where you do it from?
I think your schedule is good. I've always believed a steady 8 hour day, every day, leads to burnout and boredom. Alot of unhappy workers out there today. Having different hours and different schedules is better for the brain.As long as the work gets done. I manage a large apartment building and live next door (provided by employer).

Riiiiggght...Also, you can spread your working hours over the entire day.
And if you get a brain storm at 10 o’clock at night, you can act on it.
And some jobs are individual contributors with no actual team reporting to them where this works. And many jobs are not and require people in a location with leadership to ensure theey get work done.Good friend has been working almost exclusively from home for almost 4 years now.

If the job is getting done, what does it matter where it's getting done from?Riiiiggght...
Or you can take off all day and only attend meetings by phone while lounging at the beach.
If you can do the job the way I described, then you are working for the government.If the job is getting done, what does it matter where it's getting done from?
Exactly...If the job is getting done, what does it matter where it's getting done from?
Because the the employees efficiency, and performance cannot be effectively evaluated through off site working. That's why we have supervisors. So they can supervise, and determine if an employee has the proper workload, and gets the job done effectively, and efficiently.If the job is getting done, what does it matter where it's getting done from?

Regardless, it can be done more thoroughly if everyone was in house. If good enough, is "good enough"; so be it. Some employers want more than just good enough...Ummm
My wife has been supervising a whole department from a different state than they work in for years now.
Just saying....
