Screw that noise. Put on a jacket and tie, cut off the hippy hair, and get with the program. You don't see real CPAs or lawyers doing this telecommuting crap. (Especially lawyers; I'd like to see on telecommute to court! The judge would be issuing contempt in 2 seconds flat.) We need to insert some professionalism back into the IT industry and thus rebuild confidence in the American IT industry. Personally, I'd like to see if some of these so-called IT personnel actually can unslob themselves and act their age. This is just a backlash to all of the nonsense that infested the .coms; it's good to see a major company getting back to normal. |

You might as well add coal miners to your list, since that's about as normal as your comparison.
Lets see a lawyer or a CPA wake up and deal with major outages for a week straight and be expected to show up for 9 a.m. meetings, do all major maintenance on weekend nights on a frequent basis, etc etc. Someone would be paying them through the nose, or getting laughed at as they stroll away from their oh-so-normal 9 - 5 workday.
There's a vast contingent of people within technology that are quite productive when telecommuting. Often times, for many of that contingent it's the only time you can get enough quiet time to get real project work done, or to feel comfortable for a few of those 80 hours per week you're slaving away for the good of the company.
The real slobs in the workplace are the people that contribute absolutely nothing, yet show up consistently from 9 - 5. |
