We are a 3 people company doing software and we all do teleworking. (We used to be 4 people in 3 cities, now we are just 3 in 2 cities.) So, I don't see how much my position as an employer impacts my employee's daily experience. They are free to do what they please, they just have to perform some work on a laptop for 8 hours a day. The disadvantages are many for a company, starting with the fact that you have to play by the rules that are enforced by various entities that usually can't wait to fine you. Firing an employee is rather complicated [1] and you are not allowed to do time-limited contracts much. So, once you hire somebody you do it "for life". In a small company I would say any employee influences about as much my life as I influence theirs. I had a guy quit on me out of the blue this year (got another offer) and it was a bit of a shock for my business -- I'm not certain there is anything I could do that would impact an employee that much except suddenly firing him, which is restricted as I've just said. 1. Actually they changed the law recently, it might have become less complicated, not sure...
