I am having a tough time convicing people to let me work from home. I am a hard code developer, and with 8+ years of work ex, almost all places want me to come over and sit in office ! Maybe its because I am based in India, but well, isnt the notion of telecommuting location neutral?? Joe, you are lucky. I am having a tough time convicing people to let me work from home.

There are people that waste time and do not work when people are watching however those aren't the people you should hire to telecommute. Like the COO of our company says, if I need to worry about your work ethic from home I shouldn't hire you. He also doesn't keep dead weight around, as soon as he discovers someone isn't pulling their weight, they're gone. It is a great company to work for and I must say I've become quite spoiled. My biggest concern is this contract will end and I'll need to find another telecommuting company because I definitely don't want to go back to an office environment. Proud to say I haven't seen a co-worker face-to-face since October of 2005.
