The more I think about it, The love for the work does not out weigh the ridiculous procedures - I get that.
It might, if the money also made up for it, advancement, or other factors. But you are early on in your career, have a child, and this job is putting your career at risk. That, I think, is the real factor we are all worried about, even if we don't always vocalize it well.

a customer failed their trust-wave PCI test - literally because "PC could not be found"
LOL, quality PCI test there.
Typical actually. If the PCI scan cannot get a ping response from the IP, they fail it assuming you lied about the IP.
I have a firewall group setup to allow ping responses form the PCI scan netwokr specifically because of this.
set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 64.37.231.0/24 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 111.108.90.138-111.108.90.139 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 124.211.46.74-124.211.46.75 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 204.225.91.58-204.225.91.59 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 209.90.139.122-209.90.139.123 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 220.101.105.8-220.101.105.9 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner address 220.101.107.8-220.101.107.9 set firewall group address-group Trustwave_Scanner description 'Trustwave PCI Scanner Addresses
On one network where I have NAT setup for a specific network, I only allow in ICMP, which is not blocked by the general firewall rules.
set service nat rule 3 inbound-interface eth0 set service nat rule 3 inside-address address 10.202.8.1 set service nat rule 3 log disable set service nat rule 3 protocol icmp set service nat rule 3 source group address-group Trustwave_Scanner set service nat rule 3 type destination
On another network with no extra NAT I kill everything from the PCI scanner after allowing ICMP
set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 20 action accept set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 20 description 'Allow ICMP' set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 20 log disable set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 20 protocol icmp set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 30 action drop set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 30 description 'Block Trustwave' set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 30 log disable set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 30 protocol all set firewall name WAN_LOCAL rule 30 source group address-group Trustwave_Scanner

They are happier and more productive at home,
Proving this point can be harder for some.

This is also not a given. Many people cannot be more productive at home. They do not have the self discipline

Which may be where the issue is coming from - They've tried it in the past.

With the weather in Utah sending loads of people home early for the day, we are talking the chance to do some massive maintenance very impromptu. Going to be a very chill "routine work" kind of night with @valentina

For those that don't believe in...
- Gathering their own metrics and doing their own homework.
- Using industry data
- Common sense

Not a given on an individual basis. But on average, it is a given.
It's also misleading because they often find certain people to not be productive at home, but ignore that the same people were often not productive in the office, either.

Phone support positions are especially good for sending people home, because answering a phone is answering a phone.

Sure, but you might want to control the background noises.

For the normal day time hours - Will is only having the kid at home after 3:30... so not much of a concern there.
