Hi Gene,

I totally agree. If the work gets done and meetings get attended (as I have done remotely several times), etc., then does it matter if the writer is sitting at the keyboard in the office, or on the deck overlooking the lake, or working late at night instead of during the middle of the day? The problem is not the writer, or the work, it's the other members of the corporation who have chosen jobs that do not allow them the same working arrangement.

That'll all change with the transporter........

As for what the managers do, at this time I manage eight writers,
and they are all located remotely from my office. Whether they're
in our offices around the world or in their homes makes little
difference to me as their manager, so long as they are where they
need to be for various meetings, test sessions, etc., and their projects
advance according to schedule. However, I expect it would likely
be an issue for our corporate HR and Finance types.
