I agree, but i am sure that inofficially not working for 1 day a week would get you fired in a megacorp, even if you perform the same or better.

How did you communicate this to upper management or was it don't ask/don't tell?

In colorado it’s common for active folk to get a jump on the weekend. How I communicate this up is through metrics and reporting of progress and goals, not lack of bodies in chairs. Focus on the value. My above rules still apply but I also like to snowboard when it’s not crowded.

I guess corporate leadership methodology is a bit behind in germany (where i live), but I totally agree and think that results should speak for themselves.

I work in a megacorp, and nothing happens if you don't produce anything for a day. Nobody notices anything.

But you do have to be available for calls or meetings.
