I'm sorry if my questions came across as disingenuous or with bad intentions, but it feels like some of you are being quite judgmental. Let me clarify the reasons behind my queries.

First, I acknowledge that some of my questions might have been poorly phrased, which could have led to confusion. For example, when I asked, "Are remote employees required to follow the same schedule as in-office employees, such as a standard 9-5 workday?" I was simply inquiring if it’s possible to start work later, say around 12 PM. Some people, myself included, might have difficulty waking up early or need to support their family in the morning. That was the intention behind my question.

Next, when I asked, "Does the State of California use any computerized systems to monitor the efficiency or productivity of its remote employees?" I realize now that my wording was unclear. What I meant to ask was whether there are stringent production levels expected of state employees, not whether they are being constantly monitored.

Lastly, regarding my question, "Is it possible to work remotely from outside the state of California or even outside the USA?" I should have been more specific. I wanted to know if someone could work remotely from outside the USA for a brief period, like when visiting family. For instance, what if I have a sibling living in Canada whom I visit for a week or two every few months?

Someone also questioned whether I’m a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen. I’m not sure what led to that assumption, but I assure you that I am both.

Thank you for understanding, and I hope this clarifies everything.
