Re: Not Too Far Fetched said by bubbha:Are you serious?!? 45k people on telecommute at $40 per month for their service is $1.8MIL PER MONTH... that's real money to me! You save on gas money and food by working from home... suck it up and pay your own connection! How many of those people piggyback on that company paid service when you know they would have high speed on their own if the company didn't pay for it or they actually worked at the office? I work from home most of my time and in customers office the rest. If you've ever worked from home you'd realize that most, not all, work from home people end up working longer hours that those in tradional offices. My PRODUCTIVE hours average 12 hours a day since I'm not wasting the average one hour each direction to communte to the local office. (Which doesn't have enough space even if I wanted to go in!) I don't think it's too much to ask for them to cover my DSL @ $35/mo. especially since they have me using it for VoIP for my company line too.
The cost of real estate, phone and network if I were to go to a company office would probably be at least $500/mo. on top of the lost productivity while I'm commuting. |
