Do You Ever Take Work Home?

I recently started a new job as part of the management team and while the whole plant is growing by leaps & bounds (30% growth per year) I am busy trying to get the two team members in shipping up to speed in learning how to
priortise shipments and do the proper paperwork.

I just don't have time at work to put together things such as Shipping Manuals,
Customs Manuals, SOP'S, Contacts, etc.

Do you ever do some work at home where you won't be constantly bugged by phone calls, emails, and questions from co workers?

Yes & No.

I telecommute so I do all work from home. But when my work day is done... my work day is done.

Kewl. I work from home too. What kind of work do you do? I provide customer service and order taking. I work through two different companies that have contracts with several retailers and whatnot. One of the companies takes calls for infomercials.

I take raw inventory data and put into a usable database format.

They have a core group of full-timers that have been with the company for a while. (Giving thanks to the Lord that I am one of those)

Beyond that they increase and decrease crew size to meet the workload via temp services.

They don't do much hiring in our department anymore unless they just run across a temp that is such a good worker that they don't want to lose them during the downtime to another company.

Every day - but then I am self employed. My office is currently in my home but that may change...
