[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a huge company, and it varies across the board.  My division does not allow regular teleworking, except for very few people who work remotely 100% of the time.  On my team, we are allowed an occasional work from home day if, say, you are waiting for the plumber or the cable guy, but not "just because".  At least my boss was flexible enough to allow people to work from home during last winter's snow storms, otherwise I would have blown through all my PTO.  And btw, there is no logistical or technological reason for this, everyone has laptops and VPN so it's very feasible to do work remotely, they just don't want us to.[/quote]

My old company was like this too, it was a trust issue. My issue with that is that the research doesn't back that up (that if you are not in the office every day you aren't as productive).

The difference with my current job is that they hire a ton of younger folks - lots of people in their 20s - and I think there is just more of an expectation. My former company skewed older and leadership was really resistant. [/quote]
