"Our records show your laptop has been powered off for the last week? What happened"

"My house is gone and I needed to find a place for me and my family to live."

"Hmmm. Okay, but just remember we're a team here and everyone needs to contribute to be successful! Try to let us know next time you're going to be away, okay?"

On a scale of 1-10 how accurate was I

Ha! Yes once we were working extra days for an audit - I try to work in the office only and leave my laptop there, had worked Monday though Saturday, long hours, took Sunday off, the boss of my boss yelled at my boss (who was a devout Christian) because I left my laptop at the office. He told me and I looked him straight in the eye and said "I don't work on Sundays" and he absolutely backed me up.

But now that upper management have families, in general the flexibility does run in both directions. Most consider it a benefit to be able to work remotely, I'm sort of an outlier in that way (because the office is so close to my home, the space there is a benefit to me).

But yeah pretty close - people are working today until the power goes out.
