[quote=Anonymous]I have teleworked to various degrees at several jobs over the past 6 years or so. I do think it has affected my career in two different ways:
1) I have teleworked a few days a week under senior managers who were not supportive (in all cases my immediate managers were supportive) but were forced to accept it as a company policy. I know for certain in one case I was not give a promotion because of my telework -- I know because the senior manager told me. She was very anti-telework and openly antagonistic toward people who did it. 
2) The other way in which it has affected my career is personal. I love the freedom telework gives me to be a better mom, worker, person, and I won't give up the experience in order to further my career at a whim. It is a huge factor in considering any new job or position.  I look at my career in a whole different way as a result of my teleworking experience. 
Not sure I am explaining this correctly, but telework has had a huge impact on my whole world view of jobs, careers, and my own career trajectory.
