I think telework is limiting my upward mobility, but it is only because I cannot give it up.

At my agency, non-managers can telework two days per week.  Managers can telework one day per week, but most rarely do.  I like my job, but would like to move into management soon, and have even passed up an opportunity or two.  The problem is that I cannot get myself to give up the telework.  I have shaped my life around it (kids schedules, etc.).  It becomes so important that it is hard to move ahead.[/quote]

[b]Why is telework so important? You still have to work your hours And generally core hours. Do you cook while working or something? Is your commute long[/b]?[/quote]

Telework is beneficial for many reasons.  The time spent in the car and in unforeseen traffic jams can be better spent on the computer at home.  Sitting in this horrendous traffic is a waste of hours. Driving to work for me is expensive with gas, parking, lunch and I have to pay a dog walker.  When I am home, I can take the dog out at noon.   Telework for me is financially much better.  I imagine this is the case for many people...[/quote]
