Re: If you can't live with it depart with it

Depends how you "work" from home. Company I worked for kicked all the workers out of the office to save on office leasing costs.

One day, they said "now you're teleworking. No we don't pay for your internet access at home. Since you're saving on your gas mileage, fork up the internet connection cost. No we don't care that working on a customer grade connection is violating a TOS."

And I know of at least 1 other company that did the same thing. And I'm not talking 10 user employees. Our office had over 500 people, and we had over 100000 employees worldwide.

In my case, I had the choice to work on a basic $40 cable, or cough up an additional $150 a month to get a business grade cable or DSL connection. Hard to swallow if you ask me.
