I am employed as a Process Engineer and I discussed working from home with my employer probably 4 years ago. It seems to be an acceptable practice for the CEO, Human Resources personell and most of the Sales force but not for a lowly engineer. My boss chuckled as he declined my request.
vacpress - I used to live less than 8 minutes from work - I worked there for 14 years then decided to get an equivalent job at a larger company - I figured I would just get used to the commute. I mean - people normally have to drive 1/2 hour to get to work, right - why shouldn't I be OK with that? Well - that 1/2 drive sometimes turns into 90 minutes sometimes even longer. I just can't afford to loose that kind of time in my day - I work 2 full time jobs (basically) and the second is, to me, more important than the first - it's my company! I do feel sorry for those folks that have a long commute everyday. Now I am one of them thanks to an increase in local traffic!
Geof - I am really not in the mood to hear about your agonizing 5 minute redlight driving experience at the moment...... And to think I used to like you and your posts! Ha!
