The work at home generation, I'm in.

The RWW has an interesting article on working from home.

They make some very cool obversations, most of which I'm in total agreement.

Commuting, I don't do it. I hate it. I left CA and vowed that commuting was not something I'd start doing again. So far so good.

Flexibility, the bank is open during the day, most installers come during the day, etc. Being able to run errands, when most are working, that's so freakin' great! Plus, if I'm in the mood to work from Starbucks, or the roof top deck, or anywhere else for that matter, I can.

Saving Money and the environment. Huh, never thought about that much, but obviously gas expenses are way down, good for money and yeah i guess the environment.

Productivity, well duh! I've been screaming this from every rooftop I've been able to climb. I get up, I walk across the hall sit down and start working, coffee in hand, zone bar on the desk. No driving for an hour, no being cranky and physically drained before the day even begins. All the while, my day started at the same time, and ends about the time I'd normally get home from commuting, do that math, that's a longer day than most "commuters" since I'm in no hurry to "beat traffic" or stop by the store on the way home. So many employers can't grasp the concepts, it's quite annoying most times.

The listed Cons are all pretty much spot on, and "holly" adds a completely non-sensical one.

"I think you're missing the biggest drawback to telecommuting - If you don't need to be in the office, maybe it's cheaper for your company to outsource or contract your work. More and more jobs that you don't think of as typically outsourced, like ad design, are becoming so. Ad production is being shipped overseas to India and other technology-savvy countries for pennies on the dollar. With the time difference, ads are turned around within 24 hours.

I know I would love to telecommute, but I also know that could bethe impetus for my company to realize that someone in a cubicle in adeveloping country could be doing for job for a fraction of the cost."

Really, Holly? You think your sitting in a cube wasting resources all day, is what keeps your job safe? What makes you valuable? Talk about a wholly sad outlook on your career. I wonder if she goes to bed, praying not to be outsourced. Sad.
