Working from home is a scam when kids are on summer break
"Dad, can you get me a snack?" "Dad, he's looking at me!" "Dad, what are you typing?" "Dad can we go outside?" I'm on back-to-back Zoom calls with a 6 and 8 year old essentially demolishing the house behind me. Somehow my boss thinks I'm "just not as engaged in meetings lately." No joke, I'd rather commute 2 hours than deal with this. The camp doesn't start til next month.
Summer break working from home is literally impossible. Every meeting I'm muted with a smile on my face while one kid is yelling about juice in the background.
