    How is your company responding to the current situation?

    Because of complaints about the high cost of gas, the CEO asked my manager to draft a work-from-home policy. He's a butt-in-seat manager that doesn't trust anyone. His new policy? You can work from home for a maximum of half of the day.

  3. Telecommute? Hah! by jgerry · · Score: 3, Funny

    I work for a big telecom that encourages customers to get DSL service so they can telecommute.

    Our own telecommute policy? We're not allowed to telecommute. Yeah, we suck that way.
