Lacking

If you want to argue for something that you want, you should put more effort and creativity into your fight! Come on people!

Today at work, I'm compiling a report of all the people in our department that want to be a teleworker. You know, work from home. Everyone who wants to do that, has to fill out an application. Some people are legitimate teleworkers. They work in the field. They come into the office rarely. Other people work from home 1 or 2 days a week, because of child care, etc. So it's super nice of their supervisors to approve those arrangements. 

You wouldn't believe the stupid things people put for why they want to be a teleworker!!
Like;
I would be more productive because I wouldn't have to use that time commuting.
Umm, your commute time isn't done "on the clock" dummy. 
My home is a calmer, quieter and safer place.
We have a bigger problem than you commuting if you feel unsafe at work! 
I lose an entire work day, commuting. 
So. 
Small noises such as coughing, phone calls and conversation are very distracting to me
Your poor kids!!
I would be able to watch my grand-kids
Seriously? Stop.
Mostly, their reasons are their commute. 30 minutes is just so stressful!! But I like the days they pick, to work from home...I want to work from home on Mondays and Friday, or Thursdays and Fridays. Yeah, right.
