Re: strange Away but remoted into my pc and saw this topic. That's one point but the other is face time and people getting to know you. Those who are in an industry where telecommuting is accepted are at a huge disadvantage at times compared to those that go "into" work. I read somewhere that bosses get less exposure to you and that hurts when it comes time for promotion and raises. By being in the office, a boss is able to see what you do, how valuable you are to the company, etc. When you telecommute, he or she simply sees the work you do but not you doing it, if that makes sense. | |

| Even more important with the economy going in the tank.
I want to make sure I hold on to my job.
Face time = keeping job, showing I am willing to work hard in keeping my job.
Yea, it costs me big $ in gasoline, but rather have job.
Telecommuting is great when the economy is great.
This averagedude is watching his back and making sure he is not part of the next round of lay off's. | | |

Yes, it does. Compensation for that problem can include inviting your boss to the movies on your few in-office days. Don't most telecommuting programs include a provision for one or two days a fortnight to go in, such as once per week? You schedule around your boss's off-time schedule and get to know them personally. Then they can't forget you!
Granted, you should both have appropriate home lives for that kind of comradery, but so how hard is that? | |
