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.

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...

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.
