Ask Slashdot: Would You Take a Pay Cut To Telecommute? 615
coondoggie writes "IT pros want to telecommute — so much so that more than one-third of those surveyed by Dice.com said they would take a pay cut for the chance to work full time from home. In a survey conducted by the careers site, 35% of technology professionals said they would sacrifice up to 10% of their salaries for full-time telecommuting. The average tech pro was paid $79,384 last year, according to Dice's annual salary survey, which means a 10% pay cut is equivalent to $7,900 on average."

I can work in the buff and no one knows, except Slashdot I guess.
Unless you forget to turn off your webcam.
I had a glorious couple of months telecommuting till the "incident". There was some fall out, and psychological care needed for some in the conference room.
Later on, some people told me that watching me via webcam (when I knew it was on) was like watching evolution backwards. After a month and half they wondered if I just sat a semi-shaved ape in front of the monitor with a banana.
