Re: How managers can stop being afraid and learn to love telework

You are definitely correct about telework being out of most people's comfort zones. But, once people see the benefits firsthand, they are usually very eager to start or participate in a telework program. I'm seeing that with my day job - more people have started working remotely in the last few months than did all of last year. As they get used to co-workers being remote, it is easier to imagine themselves doing that.

Thanks for the comment (and the tweet)!

Re: How to be a bad cog in the corporate machine

Glad to hear you are a bad cog. If more employers (which includes the self-employed) allowed for flexible schedules, people would be able to manage the results of their time better. So much unhappiness comes from squeezing in your life before and after work, or giving up what you love because the squeeze won't work.

Thanks for commenting. I checked out your site and I like the message you send.

Re: What are you wearing?

My boss always assumes I'm wearing pajamas until noon. I don't feel like I am in work mode and able to be productive until I've gotten properly dressed - cargo shorts, t-shirt and barefoot.

The only times I need to worry about my appearance is a video conference, in which case I shave. Since they can't see anything but my face, I don't worry about the clothes.
