Flexible Work Schedule

Every single article that Progressive has written the past 3 weeks talks about how great a flexible work schedule is, and gives examples of schedules that employees are working and why people should consider these schedules.... My freakin' manager won't let me work one, I've asked since October, some people here work 1-3 days from home per week, some work 4 hours at home each day, some work 4-10's, some work 4-9's and a half day, so why won't my manager approve anything?!?! It's frustrating, it's not like the extra $5/week I got as a raise this year is helping anything. I try not to spend it all in one place, but it's so difficult!
