Worth reading… Microsoft Tracks Telework Trends
Here’s the heart of the article that I want to comment on:
Employees can save about $6,500 a year by teleworking from home just one day per week. Workers are also more productive when they telework, often clocking in longer hours in exchange for avoiding that grueling commute. In fact, a telecommuting schedule that also includes flex-time can add up to a 55 hour-work week that doesn’t leave workers feeling overwhelmed.
I can see this being TRUE under the following circumstances…
1. You have a motivated employee who won’t watch Netflix and eat bon bons at home.
2. The employee has a grueling commute and would rather spend the equivalent time working as fighting traffic and breathing the air pollution
3. That after the commute there are parking fees and other hassles
4. That the employee recognizes an immediate savings by not having to pay parking, eat out, fight other drivers, etc.
So this would be true of many URBAN telecommuters.
In my personal experience recently of having kids home all day in the summer….MY SCHEDULE IS TOTALLY UPSIDE DOWN! 
Working at home is COSTING me as a result!

Wow! What a novel idea. The savings are probably legit but not all types of work can be done at home. Those hooked to the telephone the entire day like purchasing people will do but not in manufacturing.
