Re Teleworkers

Never mind Niki,

I run a directory for teleworkers and have been involved in that area for 5

years.  It's still true that most employers distrust them and where they

accept the concept it is just a way to avoid employer's liability and save

on

office space - their ideal teleworker is in the building next door.


A hundred years ago the majority of small businesses were run from home,

unfortunately some people are narrow minded control freaks, still influenced

by the workplace politics of the last 70 odd years.


They would probably have been a crap client to work with anyway.

 1) We TOLD her in the first place that he wasn't in our office, he was a

 teleworker and we liked it that way - that was the point at which she

should

 have said 'ok, not interested'


 2) So f**king what if he isn't in our office? He's practically on call for

 us 24 hours a day, he never brings anything in late, we always run on time

 and none of our other clients have ever cared that he isn't sitting 3 feet

 away from me when they speak to me.


 3) I could have lied and said we had this great team sitting in our office,

 but I didn't - I told her the truth, that our graphics guy worked from home

 and the situation works very well for us. >>
