Harris, Bonnie. 2000. "Companies Turning Cool to Telecommuting Trend."
Los Angeles Times (28 December).
"AT&T typified the telecommuting boomlet in the mid-1990s.  The
corporation launched a host of ambitious work-from-home programs.
Telecommuting so enthused then-Chairman Robert E. Allen that he made a
point of letting everybody know he was doing it himself one day in 1994,
and within a year the number of teleworkers tripled."
"The hype was all there and everybody was waiting for this big
telecommuting explosion," said [AT&T] spokesman Burke Stinson.  But it
"never really got off the launching pad," he said, adding that the idea
drew resistance from supervisors. "Let's face it, part of the joy of
being a boss is walking around the office and seeing people work for
you"."
