Should I feel guilty for doing this when WFH?

[Globewalker]

I WFH 3 days a week, I get everything done that I need to and my manager is happy with how I’m getting on.

There is the odd lull in the day, and increasingly recently I’ve been using this time to ‘have fun’ shall we say with my DP, who is usually finished with his work and home by 2pm every day.

I am technically getting paid for this, which we always have a laugh about after.

Would you feel a bit guilty? As I said, I’m getting all my work done.

Keep it as your late lunch break and then it’s ok

🤣🤣😆

The honest thing to do would be to tell your manager that you have capacity to take on more.

Which they would see if you were in the office.

This is why employers are not fully confident that WFH is as productive as it might be.

Why would you care? I cook, do laundry, do grocery shopping, tidy up the house, all while I WFH. I deliver all my work and I am always online on my phone to talk to coworkers on Teams, so who cares if I do everything else so I can spend actual family time with the kids when I clock out?

I think everyone is still working to stretch targets after covid, so why should OP offer to be more stretched. Work/life balance is important.

I don't think anyone's clutching their pearls, maybe just thinking the online announcement - <clears throat> "EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP! GATHER ROUND...I SHAGGED MY HUSBAND TODAY. I REPEAT, I VERY MUCH HAD SEX WITH MY HUSBAND TODAY", comes across as a bit performative/creepy depending. Don't try and include us in your afterglow please. Enjoy that in private.

Did you just want to tell us you still shag op? This is super odd.

I am constantly amazed at what people do when they are "working from home". There is a reason why employers are trending towards calling employees back to the office.

Oh ffs rage bait bullshit - coincidental that government is pushing for everyone to get back to the office to drive the economy 🙄 and then posts on MN " i fuck when im meant to be wfh"

Have a rest.

Putting the odd load of washing on is one thing. What you’re talking about is something I think it’s odd that you’ve felt the need to ask on here??

Ugh.

Do we really want to know when she has sex?

This is a perfect example of over sharing. We don’t need to know!

Jilly Cooper, who has sadly just died, would be cheering you on for sure! 😆

Why? Because she had a shag and then went on mumsnet to tell us?

Why not?

my assistant, when we are in the office, will go off to the bog and send her boyfriend photos of her thong as foreplay and then come back in and show me.

this calls for the cringe button…

Think k about it this way: if workplace found out would they fire you? Probably yes, unless you delay lunch break til 2pm when he comes in and then what u do is more or less you’re own business

I don't understand some of these negative comments, pointless thread comments etc. It's no less pointless than most of the stuff posted on here. Is there some jealousy around OP having a good sex life and work/life balance?

Well I think that it shows a lack of decorum, to start such a thread, but different standards, and all that.

Even WHF people are entitled to a lunch break. What they do with it isn't an employers business, unless it's against company policy.

Continously breaks to do anything, sex or otherwise, is a problem.

Couldn't care less what my team are doing when they WFH (or office - people often pop out to the shop in the town centre during the day to avoid it being as busy or a queue at the pharmacy etc. No shagging in office as far as I know though) as long as the work gets done, so I don't think it's unreasonable. Our work is project based though so as long as deadlines are met and someone isn't dramatically taking the piss by working a third of the time or something, it's fine. Obviously would be different if it's meaning you get less work than you should done or you're taking calls and someone else has to pick the slack up!

Gross thread but unless you are after a promotion, it’s fine to do bare minimum to keep the boss happy and then get on with other stuff when WFH.

Oh come on.

So attention seeking
