Remote working really should be a gift for only the most disciplined and dedicated of employees. Otherwise people are lazy and sketchy and will not work nearly as hard. IBM is not wrong. Its still an asshole, but its not wrong.

I work harder than if I work at a company out of boredom. That is why I prefer to go to the office, where they see me busy even though I do less.

Lol. This just reinforces the idea that it's about attendance and not accomplishment. People will be working shoulder to shoulder with days full of mostly useless non-value added meetings and punctuate them by bullshiting with each other.

Whew - another hard day at work.

They laid me off from my old job; thought it easier to replace and move me to Dallas.

Opted to go into a less stressful job. Used to work in sales with monthly quotas; now work in a lab making lenses.

Telecommuting works great for getting work done. However women are usually butthurt about it because it limits their ability to gossip and spy on each other.

I can assure you they gossip with social media. Skype for business sometimes feels like Facebook.

MOST of IBM's workforce is in INDIA, maybe that's the problem.... back when they first started remote working Most of the employees were in western countries..

I worked for a large telecommunications corporation (corp IT) and when the idea of working from home came up, the bosses hated it because they wanted to wk around and see to it that everyone was diligently working in their office. Never flew.

This is what happens when the bean counters (accountants) are in charge.

I work from home a lot because I need to get shit done. Being in the office is too damned distracting. Everyone had a snow day last week. Everyone was surprised how much they got done. Also, water is wet.

I usually work remotely on Thursdays and get much more done than when I am in the office. I make a point of having quantifiably more to show for my workday when I'm out of the office to justify it to the pointy haired boss if he ever decides to get cunty about it.

Yea, similar deal for me; got a list I need to do and when home alone I can knock it out before lunch.

Bu at the office, I'll spend all day in meetings and people wonder why stuff does not get done.

It's worse than that. You have to stay all 8 hours, even if you finish early because 1. they don't want you leaving early and 2. you won't get paid. Whereas at home, you comfortably and stress-freely complete the work at the highest level and can use your time as you please. The office is just horrendous.
