Re: "When people think times are bad" ... Yep. If a boss views you as a faceless entity, you are less likely to be promoted and more likely to be cut when times are tough. It's a catch 22. On one hand, its good for you and allows great freedom to work from home. On the other, you are at the mercy of a company who looks at the numbers and not the human factor. If numbers come out low, your paycheck or career might come out the same. This is backed up by many studies that find face time is the best way to build repertoire and build interactions with other employees. |
