What happens when your employer instructs you to work from home, but your work-at-home spouse makes clear that you're not welcome there because you mumble when you type?

Asking for a friend.

As someone who works from home, I love that #remoteworking is trending.

Once you get your system set up, you will see just how productive you can be. You will measure your success by the work you do and the results you see, not just hours in an office.

Welcome to the work-from-home club. I've been doing this for 12 years. My biggest advice is don't have any food in the kitchen that you don't want to binge. You'll eat it all in one day if it's available, which is why I haven't had a bag of potato chips in my house for 12 years.

Dear managers,

This is the greatest opportunity for you to step up and show leadership.

Work hard to support remote teams. Stay engaged and focus on outcomes.

Employee safety is top priority. Update your customers and leverage digital channels. Remove obstacles. Be accessible.

My main concern with being forced to work from home for an extended period, is how hard it will be on my dog when I return to a normal schedule. https://t.co/lFlfDLe8dV

Working from home? I've worked from home for more than 10 years. A few hot tips:
1) Get up & move every hour. Go outside if you can.
2) Send regular updates to your manager.
3) Log your accomplishments. Your bosses don't see you, so you need to make sure they see your work.

Crazy that it takes a global virus for businesses to understand #remoteworking might be a good idea.

Why not let your people work from home, choose their most productive hours, and give them more control over how they work.

It will only drive productivity. #TuesdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/In2jpGDylb
