... and, more importantly for the business, about saving. Savings on electricity, and, most importantly, floor space.
Especially when the business saves a ton of money by outsourcing the jobs telecommuters do to third world countries.

In other words, you simply need a seperate room in your home ...
I suppose at that point, a padded room would be quite handy.

Re: Telecommuting Not All Good...

My room is padded BECAUSE of work!

But seriously, there are a few jobs that make telecommuting feasible (A friend that is divorced, gets to stay home and pickup her children, time that she would never had or job for that matter, and gets her work done).

However, telecommuting for state workers? I think not. State taxes to pay for increased hardware needs and software subscriptions, firewall updates, networking, staff (they don't want to hire), security (VPN), training, support (you know someone will call in or use their "state" laptop for other things...)...

This is another rouse to get the taxpayer to pick up the already mismanaged state funds. Heck you, the worker, pay for the heat/cooling being at home, distractions, and moonlighters (doing ebay, filing emails, surfing...)... its win win for State.

Can't wait for home insurance companies to find reason to hike rates because you are home. Or states to tax you if you are in another and cross border to work (I know PA residents that work for NJ state). That ol' telecommuting tax applies...
