It will irritate the voters even more and turn them against Bernie.

and neither does a majority of the party.
Go back to the senate, Bernard.

and voter.

No, she’s not encouraging people to steal from their employers.

Seriously? This is what you’ve resorted to?

RandySF … they don't see stealing payroll hours as stealing. As long as hurts the Man.

What's disgusting about this, and one of the reasons I could never get behind Bernie as a candidate, is that his policies are so geared towards the large corporations but he has absolutely no regard for the impact this would have on small businesses like mine. In the end, small businesses wouldn't be able to weather some of his non-nuanced policies and the only businesses that would survive under Bernie are large corporations.

Will Bernie provide them jobs if that happens?

He'll just tell 'em to take a sip from the public nip.

I’m no fan of Bernie, but come on now...

… or checking of emails. But actually stopping the whole process to sit there and make calls for any candidate when you're on someone else's dime is wrong.

Remember your mom saying...”if Jimmy jumps off a bridge, does that mean you will too?”

I’m assuming people still have free will, even if they support BS.

… she's a major player on Bernie's campaign, one that openly supported Stein no less. I don't know. I think it's despicable.

I was a huge Hillary fan - I still wouldn’t have gone outside my usual personal code to do anything some person high up in a campaign asked me to. How silly.

People, one assumes, have free will and good sense. If not, well, this is the least we have to worry about from them.

… I think it's highly inappropriate and tells any business owner, particularly small business owners, that Bernie is not in any way for them. If he is the nominee, he will be the hardest vote I've ever had to make and I'll vote for him, but I will only use my (rather large) social media platform to speak against Trump.

If you're working from home, you should be making calls for Bernie? Would she ask people to do this if they were still in the office? This is absolutely encouraging people to make calls for Bernie instead of doing their work.

Crap like this is why I almost never let people work at home and I have 30 employees. The day I pay people to make calls for Bernie will be never.

That the company I work for gets far more out of the deal than I do. That said, what I do get, such as being able to drop and collect my son from school, as well as zero commute, is really appealing to me.

… and he is utterly fantastic. But he's not typical. Mind you, most of what I do is retail so the managers need to be there.

to learn about homeworking as much as I did, as she was expecting me to get housework done during the day. It wasn't until she was off work that she realised that wasn't how it worked, as I could be on Skype meetings frequently during the day. So I would reply, I'll do that when I get home from work !

Ps, Microsoft Teams is a huge advance from Skype. The entire company has had it for the last 6 months and it is fantastic.

I have a VPN and can work from home, but am expected to actually work the same hours I would in the office. I don't mean just x amount of work hours, but also the HOURS OF OPERATION.

What is so difficult about that to understand?

… he never has. It's all about Bernie.

She sure is hi-lighting just how old he is with a rotary phone. Last time I used one I was in high school.

I worked from home as a trouble shooter for medical software. I lived in KY and the company was in CA. I closed more tickets than anyone else in my dept. I was also the 'go to' guy when anyone else was stumped.

But yeah, there are folks who cheat their employer. Its up to the employer to figure out which ones are diamonds and which ones are stones.

Sure, when I worked from home, I got a ton done, but the implication of that tweet is pretty clear. Don't work! Just make calls for Bernie! She's despicable.

It's a good to have it around as an option, but I would never gt much done.

… I work from home now since most of what I do for our several businesses is business development, creative (graphic design, website development, writing), and it is still hard to get motivated sometimes but since we have retail shops, I'd just be in the way down there.

which will help speed viral disease spread (compared to the alternative) and kill Americans. Good job.

… but like I said, as long as it benefits the venerated Bernie, the religion can continue.

It demonstrates a lack of leadership from the top.

the timing is terrible. People are worried about their health, money, their loved ones, the logistics of daily life, and in the middle of all this, while you're trapped at home, comes a political call?

working from home risk losing it for all workers who work at home.

It takes discipline and a ingrained work ethic to pace one self, to work at home. Don't abuse it. This is from an old IT guy who had numerous people working from home (makes sense in an IT environment). The business I was at ended telecommuting because so many people were abusing it (not actually working).

The verdict is still out on whether working at home vs. work is workable, long term. We still did it (work at home) when the weather was nasty, but did not do any more it because of the abusers. Some places that I have heard of that still employed telecommuting actually resorted to counting key strokes etc. to monitor productivity, not a good measure of work.

been lifting pens, staplers, and the like for years without really giving it a second thought.

The better argument to make against this would simply be "don't politicize the workplace". Co-workers don't want to hear you prattle on about your candidate, whoever he* may be, to strangers over the phone.

*Sorry Tulsi, you're a non-factor.

If Briahna Joy Gray retweeted someone telling people to embezzle cash from their job or even lift “pens, staplers, and the like,” I think there would be an uproar. This is simply no different. Theft of payroll hours is stealing. Full stop.

Yeah baby!
