Thanks. Perfect! I guess I am the one who should be apologizing if this is inappropriate, but it seems to me to be mainframe-relevant and not in violation of the spirit of this list.

If this is something that should not have been done on the list I apologize but do have to admit that I would like to see what other companies are allowing in this area. Yes our employer does allow for mainframe sysprogs and developers to work from home. There are restrictions and the main one is who your manager is. Our developers have a nice manager and allows them to work from home 2 days a week, our sysprogs have a different manager and he only allows 1 day per week. No policies have been changed. About 90% of my colleagues work from home. Our developers are also allowed to work 9 80's and 4 10's, sysprogs and admins do not get to as they have to work 5 days a week.

I am doing a favor for a friend who is writing a blog article on the above subject, with an emphasis on the effect of the shrinking mainframe personnel pool. (This is NOT some disguised headhunter pitch. Reply to the list or to me personally. I will take full responsibility for "sanitizing" your e-mail address and so forth out of what I forward to my friend.) Does your employer allow mainframe sysprogs and developers to work from home? Any particular restrictions or qualifications? Have they changed their policies specifically to address the shrinking mainframe personnel pool? Roughly what percentage of your colleagues work from home? Thanks!
