I agree. My current employer, AT&T SouthEast (aka BellSouth), actually encourages telecommuting. I was given a rather powerful laptop that had the VPN pre-installed. I was issued a secure token card for the VPN. If I have work after hours or am called out for a problem I can do it all from home or the library or anywhere with a wireless connection.
One of my immediate co-workers is remote 98% of the time and another is remte 2 or 3 days a week. I personally prefer to work in an office. I just need the discipline it gives me. However, I can be sick and still have a full day of work by being remote. >Cool article. I wonder the same thing as the author- why do so many >companies have a problem with telecommuting?
