My experience is the same. Although, I never have been a full-time telecommuter because of various physical aspects of my duties over the years.

When I did work from home, however it's pretty much exactly the same experience as you and other have described in terms of getting so much more done. I have left jobs because they demanded 9 - 5 physical presence as well as a job that denied requests to work from home on Fridays after putting in 14 hours per day for a year in addition to commuting a lengthy distance each day. It was 'boo hoo thanks for all your hard work, not our fault you live where you do' and so-on. So, I have some pretty inflexible rules I live by now in terms of those things.

Some people view telecommuting as a huge benefit. I don't really see a way around it, it's an eventuality that always occurs. Nearly all of my experiences have been in 24x7 mission critical roles, so I don't view telecommuting as a benefit at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19621115 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 07:10:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19617698 SquareSlinky : I don't think a lot of companies get it. Its a do or die situation, get the work done or your gone.

I have worked from home for many many years. I went to the office recently and realized how much more I worked than those in the office did, so I cut my time down. I still do 50 in a week. Make me go to the office and you will 40 from me. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19617698 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:05:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19617075 haplo2112 : Has a very NO work from attitude in general. In other words they just don't get it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19617075 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:28:05 EDT
