@Dave,
""A good manager who manages to their employees and who THEY are (the
employee) can manage anyone remotely. If they need to be micro, it's
because the employee's abilities/skills demand it.""
It is unfortunate that in my career, I have only found 1 or 2 managers who
come even 'close' to th

unproductive while staring intently at someone to make sure you hear every
word and then try to mentally reflect back on the whole conversation in
order to give a complete answer. You can keep on coding throughout the

I don't think the point here is that a project lead or client shouldn't be
able to ask the developer a question. That's kind of ludicrous. However,
calling and asking a question in detail is just as weasy as turning around
and asking a question in detail. And, better yet, quick questions done ov

I said my preference (not requirement) was to have someone in the office with
me as this position is to be my tech lead. I do have people working remotely
and they do fine.

The wording on those messages is a little misleading I think... The
messages don't actually "bounce", it's just a reminder to trim, but the
message does actually go through to the list.

In the past 20+ years in IT with ColdFusion and other technologies I have

I am a full-time permanent employee of a Fortune 500 company and am a
full-time telecommuter. I live in Arlington, Texas and my boss and *most*
of my team members are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It works out really
well. I have full benefits as I am a regular employee.

That's your prerogative. I just don't want people misled that hiring
telecommuters necessarily means not having to provide benefits. While many
telecommuters are contracted, many are not.

I've been in business for myself for 14+ years. Have always paid for my own
health insurance, it can be had for pretty cheap, got full coverage with a
$5k annual deductible for $280 per month for a family of 6. Adjust your
hourly rates accordingly if that seems high.

Oh.. I agree as well that we would appricate health insurance.
But if it's the difference between me getting a job with no health
insurance and not getting a job that has it because I need to

Agreed on just about everything but the health insurance. Full-time
telecommuters still often require full benefits with regard to health
insurance, 401k, etc. True, you still save money on the overhead. I
happen to be on my husband's insurance, but many are still the sole
providers.

I know I've got a major bias here, but I'll say it anyway.

Carl, there are several good people out there that you are bypassing

The CF-Jobs list is probably the most focused location to post the gig
for people who participate actively in "the CF community". Many
ColdFusion User groups will also posts jobs to their membership.
Michael would probably know if that exists in NYC.
