Re: Cake and eat it too? I was reimbursed for access to work computer systems from home. The company paid for a 2nd phone line(this was back in the old dial-up days). But it wasn't meant to be telecommuting. It was for being on call 24x7 and to cut the response time to solve computer & network problems. Instead of spending 40 mins driving to the office, I could start working on the problem immediately.
I suspect this decision by IBM will have a negative effect on morale for those employees who are always on call and use their broadband connection to react quickly to problems. They will still have to do their jobs, but they might not put their whole heart in it after another cut in overall compensation.
