[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the people here saying they'd be turned off by a question about telecommuting?

How old are those who wouldn't be?

I don't see telecommuting as a benefit the same way that leave is, but as another PP stated, it is a working condition.   I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask about it at the first interview IF there is no way you'd be interested in the job if telecommuting weren't an option.[/quote]

I totally think that this is a generational issue and maybe the person put off by the question just hires lower-level admin workers who may not even be able to telecommute because the type of work they do is not conducive to telecommuting, but it does not mean that it is not possible for other people.

I work from home, but I have to admit that I cannot work when my child is at home.  It is too distracting.  I have a home office that is set up just like my business office and I work quite efficiently, but you have to be disciplines and set a schedule for yourself.  I think, it works out quite well.  Most of the people in my office telecommute.  I expect that in the future telecommuting will become a lot more popular especially with rising gas prices and increased traffic on the roads.  [/quote]
