Will Telecommuting Kill a Career?

coondoggie writes to mention that Network World has a piece taking a look at the effects of the telecommute on advancement within your career. From the article: "Over 60% of 1,320 global executives surveyed by executive search firm Korn/Ferry International said they believe that telecommuters are less likely to advance in their careers in comparison to employees working in traditional office settings. Company executives want face time with their employees, the study said."

    The REAL question remains unanswered after all these years: Just why ARE all Macintosh users homosexual? And why DO the authorities decline to prosecute them for homosexual behavior? Hell, if adulterers can get life imprisonment in Michigan, is it so hard to do something similar to the fanboi's who really are dangerous and annoying?

    In your heart, you know I'm right.

      Adulterers get life in Michigan and child molesters get off free in Vermont.

    Are you older than 10? You look like the average gamer on Starcraft or Wow based on your ability to spell, construct sentences, use punctuation, and generally convey yourself through writing.

    Assuming you actually are a contract worker, I can see why they might not appreciate you. Take an English class--it'd be well worth your while.

    -1 Troll in my book.

    Eh, I'd say being able to hold a whiteboard conversation with ones peers is extremely convenient.

    Yeah, but that's not what the article is talking about, according to the summary: Company executives want face time with their employees, the study said

    The point is that PHB's want their minions in sight so everyone knows who's boss. It's all about power and primate heirarchy, and nothing at all to do with efficiency and productivity.

    If that's really true, then I suggest you dump the bitch and the rugrats. What good is a family that causes more stress than it relieves? Better the pay them off with child support and alimony and live a happier life.

    Family should be the best part of your life. If it isn't, you fucked up.
