Telecommuting Can Be Bad For Those Who Don't
SirLurksAlot writes "An article up on Ars Technica reports on a study of telecommuting from the point of view of those who show up at the office every day. The study discovered that telecommuting can have adverse effects on the office-bound. Researcher Timothy Golden 'found that in-office employees took less satisfaction in their jobs and felt less of a relationship and obligation to their company as the number of telecommuting coworkers grew. In-office employees in his study became disappointed at having fewer and weaker relationships. They also got frustrated at a perceived increase in workload and difficulties that telecommuting can present to finishing projects and building strong working relationships.'" The article notes that telecommuting is "not an exact science." Some good insights in the discussion forum too.
Well, you could always just RTFA rather than speculating, but I suppose that's just naive of me.
Can an admin delete the ac troll?
All glory to the Hypnotoad!
Imagine how people will feel when they find out half of their "co-workers" are just shell scripts.
THL phish sticks
Hey, there's social rules and peer-pressure to consider. This is Slashdot, man; and here you're suggesting I could RTFA..? I'd be a laughing stock... ;)
Tough shit unless you want to drive me to work. :-P

That already describes most of us, whether or not we RTFA.
You don't work with contractors a lot, do you?

If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
The bad news for Omni Mega Hypercorp is that people like you with great work ethics don't have kids. I on the other hand am shiftless but fruitful, and my lazy offspring are going to micromanage you all the way to your grave.

Perceptive. I am 30, have no children, want no children and tend to only have relationships with women who agree.
Erm. Agree not to want children, that is. Not agree to the relationship.
Uh. Well, they agree to the relationship, too, obviously.
Yeah, mod me +5 creepy.
look everywhere. we have your women. soon we will have the white house. it's our time now.
My home-time is spent doing things that most 'middle Americans' would find scary or offensive so I really don't want to mix my work/home lives.
What are you, a sociopath or something? Do you have a young girl-child tied up in your bedroom, whacked out on sedatives, to rape and torture at will?
If not, then what the hell are you talking about? "Edgy" porn? Rubbing your two-inch stub with a cheese grater while singing opera? Fantasizing about your neighbors' bloody entrails?
What could you, an autistic Slashdot drone, possibly do that would be scary? Other than getting naked for the shower every other fortnight, that is.
"The hills are alive with the sound of penile friction!" FatSean shrieked as he attempted to scrub the crusty semen stains from his jungle-like expanse of pubic hair. "My bonnie lies over the ocean! My bonnie lies over the seaaaaaaaa! My bonnie has a fat pussyyyyy... I like to watch her peeeeeee!"
"Seanie, what's that racket?" his wizened grandmother screeched from the top of the stairs. She leaned on her cane and stretched her ear towards the bathroom door. "Are ye slappin' your man-gland?"
"N-n-no, Grammy!" FatSean sputtered as his soap-covered retard-hand rubbed furiously at his tiny bipper. "Please don't make me walk around with a clothespin clamped on my thinger again!"
Grammy raised her cane and pounded feebly on the door with it. "Then don't ye be spilling your rancid seed in m'shower ag'in!" She cackled merrily and jammed the end of the cane into her desiccated twat. "Ohhhhhhhhh!" she moaned as her hip shattered. She fell to the ground in a tangle of osteoporosis-limbs. "Help me, Seanie!"
"Grammy!" FatSean knew his grandmother was in trouble, but he was so close to the eruption of lumpy semen that he had to see it through to the end. With a shuddering moan, his entire flab-body undulated like a walrus, and three pints of green cum splatted uselessly against the shower curtain. He scooped some into his hairy palm and ran from the bathroom.
"Help me up, you useless pile of man-meat!" Grammy said from the floor, writhing around in orgasmic agony. The cane was still plugged up inside of her.
"I'm comin'!" FatSean reached down and forced his hand into his grandmother's mouth, dumping his rat-come deep within her throat. She gagged furiously and bit down on his fingers, causing blood to spurt against her sharpened dentures.
"Oh shit! Now I have AIDS!" she screamed, and died. FatSean fucked her corpse.

In America, first you write the code, then you get the money, then you get the women!

I have never understood the sense behind the insult "mouth-breather", which seems to have gained quite a lot of undue traction. Is it considered less uncouth to spray dried nuggets of mucous at your conversational partners than to breath filthy mouth air at them? For that matter, why is mouth air considered less savory than nose air? In which orifice would you rather put your tongue (positing third-party orifices, of course)?
Frankly, if the incessant chattering of humankind was occasionally interrupted by a few deep breaths through the mouth, the world would be a better place.
In America, first you write the code, then you get the money, then you get the women!
Don't be silly. Geeks don't get women!
I'm old enough to remember when discussions on Slashdot were well informed.
Why is creepy a positive mod?
I have discovered a truly remarkable sig which this post is too small to contain.

He just outed himself as a racist.
