Promoting Telecommuting During the Gas Dearth?

Oren F. asks: "The President of AeroAstro, Inc., a small aerospace company, has begun promoting his employees to conserve gasoline during these times of high prices by telecommuting to work each day from their homes at least once a week. How is your company responding to the current situation?"

It's petrol, not gas...

There's no shortage of gas - especially with all the sheep in New Zealand.

New Policy

How is your company responding to the current situation?

Because of complaints about the high cost of gas, the CEO asked my manager to draft a work-from-home policy. He's a butt-in-seat manager that doesn't trust anyone. His new policy? You can work from home for a maximum of half of the day.

Telecommute? Hah!

I work for a big telecom that encourages customers to get DSL service so they can telecommute.

Our own telecommute policy? We're not allowed to telecommute. Yeah, we suck that way.
