Since 2007, I've worked at home most of the time... only commuting across the country to go into the office about 8 days/year. I've gone through a lot of personal changes through that time as it relates to working remotely. The company and my colleagues have too. At first, we felt disconnected. But now, I think we actually talk more. The hallway chat has shifted to skype calls, usually talking about random things before or after discussions about something else. In fact, I think the hallway chat is even more honest and productive now because we don't have to worry about who else is listening. Almost everybody is more productive, happier and less stressed.
