This is the point of so many small businesses that I have worked for, be in the office, on time an be sitting at your computer, even if there is nothing to do. I worked in an office where the middle of the month there was almost always nothing to do, and all of our software was in the cloud, so we could have worked form home when tasks needed to be done, but to an old school boss, it all about putting in time, not about vaule added.
