It truly comes down to the individual on the success or failure of telecommuting. It does take discipline.. But if you have that, then the company is the one who benefits overall.
My motto is A Happy Employee is a Productive Employee.. A Productive Employee is a Successful Employee.. A Successful Employee makes a Successful Company.. -----Original Message----- From: Russel Madere [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 8:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Telecommuting Article 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?
