really?
I telecommute and was recently involved in the conception of a new cell of telecommuters for the company I work for. The person put in charge of the operation was site based. He decided to not allow a certain tool to the new employees that was available to all the other telecommuting cells, evidently thinking that they would never be the wiser. Never, ever underestimate the ability of people to utilize social networking and other digital forms of communication. It was a matter of days before these brand new employees discovered that they had not been granted access to a tool that all the other telecommuters were allowed to use. So the lack of communication argument is ridiculously outdated.
