This potentially would have a lot more impact on getting more competition in the crappy high speed internet market than current legislation, too. - Phil G

The gas problem in the US is not as big as here in Europe. Prices are through the roof and the first protest strikes have already taken place. But I like your idea, especially since I work for the leading company in remote workplace solutions. - Rob Sanders

Lindsay, that would be great, but too many managers are still like Lundbergh. - Cyndy

@RAP Well, if we keep outsourcing to India, then pull outsourcing to a cheaper country after the wages have risen sufficiently there, I think that will end up the result. - Cyndy

There used to be tax incentives for companies that had employees work from home at least some days in the week. I'm not sure how important those are to company's though as some are trying to put everyone in cubicles again. I guess saving money and having higher productivity isn't as clear as having acres of cubies? - Shamir Katsu

@RAP & Rob S. - Yes it's a global problem, but it seems that most other places aren't as dependent on gas to enable workers to work... most other countries seem to have either good public transportation systems or the urban centers are much more condensed so there is less daily travel to do. I can't bike or walk or even take the bus to where I work and this job is a "short" commute for me. The real solution is to get us all off of oil to power cars but I don't know how to incentivize that. - Lindsay

@J Phil - yeah great idea!! 3 birds, 1 stone - maximizing effort impact here!! - Lindsay

@Cyndy - It's unfortunate that you're right. We're still in the "unskilled factory worker" model of employment, where everyone is treated like a child and must be monitored at all hours to make sure they're doing their work. It's ridiculous. In the information technology age, we need people who think for themselves and are creative... a cubicle, 8-5 environment does not encourage this. Plus it's not cost effective for the company: could be saving lots on electricity, phone, real-estate and other costs. - Lindsay

the incentive to get off oil is rising daily at the pump - Nathan Eckenrode

I wrote this in 2006, and it pretty much echoes what you say: http://www.raoulpop.com/2006.... Companies have so many opportunities to provide better work environments for their employees, such as allowing them to work from home, but they prefer to treat them like children. It's very frustrating. - Raoul Pop
