shite like that stupid bitch is gonna cost those of us with WFH jobs our ability to do so, and will have to drive to the office - its 45 mins 1 way for the wife and I to go to the office (for her, it is a 10 hour shift with a 4 hour break in the middle).

irresponsible fricking morons should not frick it up for the responsible people.

Its a 6 hour flight for my wife. She has employees spread out all over the country. They make it work but they do not simply trust that they are doing the right thing...first of all they hire people who do the right thing in the office...and pay them handsomely so they get good applicants. They have a pop up that is random and have so long to respond. Miss that pop-up more than rarely and they have to 'splain why....and withstand enhanced verification. In 3 years it has happened twice....and she has 47 people telecommuting. It can be done, simply trusting any employee to do the right thing without some monitoring is insanity.
