• The simple fact I support working from home boils down to location. I live in the middle of nowhere, which is 120 miles from nothing. Over the last 9 years, I have worked from home for two companies. If neither of those companies hired remote workers, then I'd still be looking for work. Remote employees have the luxury of working from home, no commuting, and no dealing with attitudes of co-workers; however, we do lose the ability to collaborate with others in a “one-on-one” fashion, as we have to plan our workdays better. At the office, we have supervisors watching our every move and keeping us on track. At home, we only have ourselves to manage. Hands down, I prefer my remote location in the middle of nowhere, secluded from stress of big city, loud noise, and bright lights over the option of working from a office. If my company tells me no more remote employees, then they are now short one Senior Analyst.
