I go to an office on a 9-80 schedule, but I'm allowed to do OT and even do it from home. I'm more than able to work from home. But today my car is in the shop and I won't be able to get it til tomorrow. I'm using some vacation time to cover the absence but I asked my boss since I'm able to if I can just work from home. If it was up to her she'd say yes. But since it's up to someone higher the answer is no.
Like why? I just don't understand it. They rather me use the imaginary hours they give me and get no work done, than just say ok yeah go ahead and work. It just doesn't make sense.
