... The other thing that I've run into is the expectation that I will be always available. I've had people call me late at night that wouldn't think of calling someone who worked in the office late.I've had to learn to manage expectations. ...
I can relate to this because I once worked with someone who expected everyone who worked from home to be available 24x7 because that was how he operated. I let him know that I didn't mind putting in a few extra hours and taking a few extra calls so that the privilege of working from home was also a privilege to the company but under no circumstances was I going to be available 24x7.
We had a great working relationship after that. The lines were drawn and the expectations managed. 😉
