[E-trademarks] PTO abandoning remote work?

[Rick Bigelow]

I've received emails from examiners on Saturdays and Sundays which tells me
they were working remotely. If they were in the office, the emails probably
would not have been sent until Monday.

I think remote working can be a plus if managed correctly.  My daughter was
hired as a VP for an international company full time work remotely.
