Re: What is it with telecommuting?
> Agreed. I live just outside of Tampa, where the housing crisis is > really bad, and I wouldn't consider moving... -- C. Hatton Humphrey Understandably, most places want people on-site. The best tele opportunity I was was one where you went on-site for a month on the company dime and then came in for meetings every quarter. That way there was the possibility of meeting and interfacing with people and the remote aspect. == That's also how I pitched to some recruiters as well, which seems to be logical... -- Jeffry Houser There is also a trust issue. If you're at home and "I" am paying you hourly, how do "I" know that you're really doing work for me for all the time "I" am paying you? How do I even know that you're working at all and are going to meet deadlines? == The above Hatton's approach + permission-based remote software to track activity/time expenditure of a given IP (that's the idea) ... -- Aaron Rouse although when they get that trust lets just hope the trust also does not direct them to just sending the work to a telecommuter who will work for pennies on the dollar overseas. :) low paying/environmental damaging jobs can go overseas but NOT good-paying jobs like IT above certain level (win bigger, lose little). The trend (or rather policy) of allowing good-paying jobs going overseas in the name of whatever nonsense would have the unintended consequence of shrinking the middle class in this country.
