and seriously also, it’s a very different world allowing employees to telework… you may find that larger service companies begin to do this more often with freelancers as it cuts down on overheads and that may change the way the employee market works eventually. I’m happy for trusted people to work at home but as Duncan pointed out, there is a definite need for regular personal contact that MSN can’t yet provide.   -----Original Message----- From: Mark Smyth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 June 2004 14:57 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] RE: The chicken or the egg   but on a more serious note, i'd be more than happy to consider telecommuting offers of up to 40 hours a week (providing I can get away with working 10) -----Original Message----- From: Damian Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 June 2004 13:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] RE: The chicken or the egg Yeah... I would be very nervous about letting an employee go like that at the moment, give it 30 years or so though- you'll be able to work at home once you've retired and the mean employers will pay you �2.00 an hour, the equivalent of a penny sweet in future money ;)   -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Fenton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 June 2004 14:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] RE: The chicken or the egg   Even a boss that trusted me - and there have been a few - would not sign up for that.  Maybe I'm atypical, but part of the service is to support my sponsor in his/her interactions with other players (his/her boss, other 'barons', the users, potential/actual customers....).  And for that you have to be able to attend in person at reasonable notice.

Trust. as a side note - who here could talk their boss into letting them telecommute? say if you wanted to spend 2+ months in the bahamas? how about if you could arrange handy tools - iChat, video conference, a sorted CVS, decient laptop and internet connection? curious barry.b ----- Original Message ----- From: "Snake Hollywood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 13:13:50 +0100 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] RE: The chicken or the egg yes but we all know Spike that's the difference.
