I work from home 1 or 2 days a week, and the rest of the time commute 55 miles each way (~1h10m).
True, I probably get more done on the days I work from home as I don't have a commute, and there are fewer distractions, however, I find I can collaborate far more effectively when I'm in the office - instant messenger, email and video calls just don't cut it.
Plus I have an amazing commute, mostly along British A roads through the countryside.
- cjcmd11 9y agoThis is what some of the comments are missing. Telecommuting doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. There are obvious advantages to being in the office; but I'd wager those advantages aren't quite as severe by cutting office time by 1-2 days a week. Plus, it allows workers to feel refreshed from dealing less with of the negative stresses of commuting.
