[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To respond from the perspective of management, it takes a good six months or even a year to come to have a degree of trust in an employee's work, work habits, integrity, and client interactions.  You really cannot expect to immediately show up on a new job and telecommute.  You have to prove yourself.  Once you do, fine, but to ask at an interview to me says the person is arrogant, rushes institutional processes, and doesn't feel he/she has to pay her dues, show her worth, and show me he/she has the goods.  Most organizations that are set up where everyone telecommutes as a matter of course will make that clear to YOU.  You won't have to ask.  If not, don't ask right away.  Really bad form.  Ask a colleague.  If it's so important to you it would be a deal breaker, don't leave your current job.[/quote]

I agree with this, in general.  There are going to be exceptions but I think this is not just reasonable but probably represents the majority of approaches by employers who do offer telecommuting options.[/quote]
