Telecommuting.... I have been able to enjoy this feature of my position for the last six years and it has worked extremely well. There are some drawbacks - you don't see your buddies at the coffee machine in the morning, but you can work in your pj's if you desire. Your meetings are more likely over the phone, but that is why we have speaker phones and the "mute" button. Can actually work on more than one task at a time and if you need to work late, the drive home is easy - usually a walk down the hall. As the technology age advances, and managers trust their employees to work without direct supervision, we should see an increase in the number of people who do work (telecommute) from remote locations. Have to admit, it's sometimes nice for a change to visit the local coffee shop and work just as efficiently from there as from my home office.

I still believe that since considerations of communications, conferencing etc have been resolved, that the essential problem is that management does not know how to measure the work of systems folks. This is just as true when we are IN the office, but management fells better when they can see us there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
