[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest here. When I tell people I'm more productive when I work at home, I'm lying through my teeth. And I think most people are.[/quote]

I work with someone who works from home one day a week and says he's more productive. I absolutely believe him. When he's at work he is constantly being called to meetings. He has a lot of work to do just sitting at his computer. I think that day at home gives him an opportunity to get that work done so that when he's in the office he can attend to the meetings people are always calling him over for. HOWEVER, if he only worked at home, he'd never be able to have that interaction.[b] I think WAH is great one or two days a week and, honestly, it's the way things are going, but it has to be the right field and the right type of job[/b]. You can't make a blanket argument that WAH is either good or bad, more productive or less productive.

I totally agree.  WAH 100% of the time is total crap.  No one is working as much as they would be in the office, and your co-workers in the office know it.  I WAH one day a week and it's great, but I wouldn't want to do it 100% of the time and I'd never run a company where that was allowed.[/quote]

The fact is, teleworkers wouldn't be so desperate to keep the perk at any cost if it didn't enable a lot more goofing off, not to mention all the teleworkers who "work" at home without childcare.  Just listen to all the nonsense on this thread and all over the internet.  [/quote]
