IBM seems to do this quite a bit here in Chicago.
They are encouraged even not to show up at the office.
They *USED* to have a desk at 1 IBM PLAZA but not anymore (for the most part).
I think IBM managed to screw up things when they did that.
Of course now its difficult to even find an IBM person.
10 years ago I asked IBM sales rep a question and he asks me how much am I willing to pay for the answer. IOW everything is a consultant these day.
IBM has F****ked themselves up when they decided to do this.
The people IBM hires to sell systems now days is the same thing. When asked a specific question on something that is not covered in the manuals its $$$ .

I've only worked from for a few days at a time, for heath or

you are sick enough to be courageous but not too sick to work.

I'd like for telecommuting to be mandatory for people with
infectious[1] illnesses.

My main issue with working from home is lack of multiple monitors.

I'd rather have a single large monitor with lots of pixels. I
currently have a dozen open windows on my monitor, and it's not that
large.

[1] Well, an STD shouldn't be an issue at the office, but certainly
    anything airborne.
