I was reading a study a while back about how an absurdly high percentage of total jobs could be done via telecommute but aren't. It's crazy to think about how many millions upon millions of dollars in fuel costs and reduced emissions could be saved by having more telecommuters. Not only that, but companies could save so much money by having reduced or no office space/electricity/etc. Plus they'd get the added benefit of increased worker satisfaction in most cases.
- praptak 15y agoWhat you said, plus the employee commute time - I have actually turned down a (nominally) better paid job offer to accept a (nominally) lower one. The pay is lower, but the almost instant commute means I actually earn more per (work + commute) hour. On top of that I also save on fuel, car wear and tear and road jam frustration.
