Why Telecommuting Stinks Article
Interesting article on the Computerworld site regarding telecommuting, titled “Why Telecommuting Stinks” by Dian Schaffhauser. It covers the following 8 downsides to working from home:
- You can never get away from the work.
- You can’t just call for a tech support person desk-side.
- Who will handle the paperwork?
- You can get lonely.
- You can have too much company.
- Forget about cost savings and that corner-office promotion.
- You have to be savvier about communication.
- Your manager may never really know you are working.
I agree with the general gist of all of her points but feel there needs to be a sequel to the story – Why Telecommuting Rocks! There are two sides to the story.
