I have no doubt most of you in the US have been getting e-mail for jobs in Nebraska. If memory serves me correctly they have been pushing the manta $60/HR but you have to be on-site.
Well it looks like the State of Nebraska has now looking for people, this time remote. However I am guessing you will have to travel to Nebraska for 1 week of meet and greet an pick up a laptop but they will expect the remote worker to pay the bills for the week. Any bets?

I have not seen that at all here; quite the contrary -- the employer gets a great deal more of our development time than we're actually bound to do, just because it is so productive a way to work and so easy to do "just one more round of tests, I've almost got it . . .". I will say that there are still managers (even not so senior ones) who are so afraid of slacking that they limit W@H opportunities even for programmers. I think it depends on your own personal attitude - if you think you would slack at home (or do slack) then you think everyone else will do it too. For myself, I am so grateful for the opportunity for W@H that I make *darn* sure not to screw it up for me or for anyone else on my team. But to play devil's advocate a little, I imagine that managers who are dealing with really remote workers in other countries and cultures and time zones complicates the issue too. To Mike B: I thought that the "no more work at home for anyone" was Yahoo, wasn't it? ISTR the IBM mandate was for marketing department types, not programmers, but I could be wrong about that (memory is a slippery thing).
