Telecommuting is a very interesting and complex subject.
The pros and cons of this concept are numerous and both sides have excellent arguments. In the research I've done I feel I have to argue both sides to maintain a sense of perspective. The reasons for and against telecommuting can be complex or simple depending on which view point you take. From a manager's view point telecommuting is a very dangerous undertaking that requires a high readiness level on the employee's part. When an employee has a high readiness level and a definite desire to attempt working in the home, for some reason or another, many factors should be considered.
