I think it's a manager thing. I had a discussion with one that went "If I was at home I'd be out shopping..." and I think that's the issue.
I used to commute to London (a 3+ hour round trip from Bath) and a lot of the time I would sit working on a project on my own all day and head home. They just didn't have the infrastructure sorted out to deal with remote working (but paid well). There are two issues that need to be dealt with trust and infrastructure BUT to get to the point where trust can be 'tested' the infrastructure needs to be in place to support effective home working. That is a top down decision. Trevor Cole wrote: > I was commuting 52 miles one way 5 days a week.
