TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
What off-site work comes down to (re productivity and expense) is whether
the established goals are being met with reasonable hours expended.
I just finished a project as a contractor where 80% was off-site, and the
client had nothing to object to since I met the agreed upon goals and
did it with a minimum of hours (mucho less than the on-site employees).
If they are not going to trust you working off-site, then what they want
is not a professional but a slave.
