It does work, I've been working from home for almost 2 years - leading a team who partly work in an office and partly work at home.
Not everyone may want to work from home though.
Campfire + VOIP works well to manage everything.
We all run on a central network using VPN but we're slowly starting to use more external services - and I hope we can ditch the VPN for most stuff in a few months - using Google Apps, Github and some proprietary web apps.
It gives more time to work as you're not commuting and if you have a young family it means you get to see the kids more.
- abalashov 18y agoNot everyone may want to work from home? Really? While, admittedly, I've met some people that consciously or unconsciously value the social and possibly collaborative aspects of working in an office with others, they tend to be the kind that just get their social needs fulfilled at work without doing a whole lot of actual work. There are some exceptions in passionate people who are also extroverted and aware of the extrinsic dimensions of what they do, but they are not common enough to be statistically meaningful in my experience. Can you elaborate more on what kind of person you think wouldn't want to work from home? I've hardly met anyone who wouldn't.
