Yeah I did a job keyword search on Monster for "remote or telecommute" one time, and instead of getting telecommuting jobs I got "no telecommuting" jobs. Not a single job was actually a telecommuting position. Very annoying.
I agree with you guys. I really don't understand why tech companies don't like telecommuting more. I get twice as much work done from home than I do in the office. Sometimes I work from home just so I can get caught up from all the interruptions in the office. And I usually end up working an extra hour per day because I don't have the commute. I understand that everyone is not a self motivator and the company would lose out with those types of people, but for those who are it's a win win situation for both the company and employee. And the company could reduce their office size and save money on rent. Wow! More work with less money. Who needs to outsource?
Just curious, how did you guys get to telecommute full time? Were you hired as a telecommuter from the start or did you work for the company for a while?
The Earth will be underwater by 2030, so it looks like pretty good timing from the Japanese. I guess the few Japanese people inhabiting the Moon will be the only humans left.
Let them all leave. Microsoft doesn't care. They will just hire someone in India or China to take their place. Those engineers should be happy they have jobs in the first place.
"The classic opportunity for our American farmers and entrepreneurs and small businesses to understand is there is a 300 million-person market of middle class citizens here in India, and that if we can make a product they want, that it becomes viable"
Hmmm... Let's see... U.S. owns a company and gives their jobs to India. How is that us producing a product that they want?
I think what is being inferred here is that we are the innovators and everyone else are the laborers. Well, here is a news flash... Americans are getting dumber every day. Just look at kids coming out of college. They can't even form a single intelligent sentence without saying "like" or "uh". The education system in this country is failing and the next generation of entrepeneurs won't have a brain in their head. How is anyone going to invent anything that someone else will want to buy? The Japanese are so far ahead of us in technology, it's scary. They have been building hybrid cars for years, and American car makers are just now promising fuel efficient cars by 2007-2008. By then, the Japanese will have something far better. We are always a step behind, and now we are giving our jobs away. Anyone who thinks America is going to continue to prosper is a fool! The terrorists won't have to destroy us, because we destroy ourselves.
