[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I manage a team where someone (or multiple people) are teleworking every day of the week.  I don't suspect anyone of not working (productivity is easy enough to monitor), but I really hate the resulting environment.  Since TW has been implemented, I've seen a drastic decline in teamwork, interpersonal communication, and general team morale.  It's not that people don't get along; it's just not a very dynamic work environment.

And I can't believe anyone who would tell me that having everyone on a conference call together is anywhere near as engaging as having everyone in a meeting.  All of you have kind of made that point by acknowledging that while you are on calls, you are folding laundry, watching news, making dinner, driving kids, etc.  Imagine an in-person meeting where someone is looking at their phone or reading a newspaper during the meeting.

Ditto. Guy who's in the office every day, maybe you need to live a little. Sounds like work is your life. [/quote]

Sheesh - everyone here takes everything so literally.

Better?  I mean, when I'm working, I'm in the office.  Period.[/quote]
