Working from home
Now that the technology is available to enable white collar workers to work from home, why don't more of us do it?

Is it that bosses love to see the white's of employees eyes, is it really that workers are not trusted to get the job done? If that is the case, why employ that person that the bosses don't trust in the first place.

Working from home is great. I personally gain 2 hours a day less commuting time, my car is not polluting or clogging up the roads. The company I work for gets things done. As for collaboration, I have the IT tools available to get things done. Fantastic!

So why aren't more of us doing it? Is it really that we are not trusted? If so, that's sad we are not kids at school - we are paid professionals. If you don't trust an employee to do a job without being watched they can find another opportunity or the boss can grow up and become more enlightened about work in the 21st century!
