replies: text: Telecommuting →  – "Telecommuting" has quickly become a dated term. Google search trends for the last five years are pretty clear that "telecommuting" is not the common name for what's being described here, varying forms of the word "telecommuting" lose out in large to massive margins to "work from home" and even "remote work." The search engine also shows ~4.9 million hits for "telecommuting" vs. ~165 million for "work from home."
For reliable sources, Google News shows ~104,000 results for telecommuting vs. ~33.3 million for "work from home." Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:11, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

===Exploring a move===
Something has changed. Maybe there should be a new article, or maybe this one should be renamed.
"Telecommuting" is a term from when the Internet was new or maybe earlier. Now it is common for everyone to have phone and Internet access. Everyone "telecommutes" to other locations continuously through the Internet by having voice and video chats, sharing files, and every other kind of electronic communication.
We have no particular Wikipedia article for "working from home", which is a different concept. With COVID-19 workplace behavior changed somehow. I am not sure what sources call it, but something globally is different and we need a place on wiki to describe that.
Any move or new article development should address the concerns above, which are good thoughts.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to remote work with no prejudice against a new request. Hoo boy, this is a classic WP:NOGOODOPTIONS close. Almost everyone disregards the title we have as not being common. It is correctly pointed out that the proposed title (which of course should be Working from home, not Working From Home) is technically a rescoping, since not all telecommuting is from home necessarily. Of course, requested moves involve rescoping all the time (one editor commented that remote work also implies a rescope, since it technically includes people running mail order services), and it seems like the consensus didn't really form (which makes sense because the nomination wasn't about the rescope at all). So the solution to me is to not rescope yet, since no consensus developed to do so. However, a consensus surely did develop that the current title is bad. No consensus EXCEPT that there IS a consensus to move it... somewhere. Classic NOGOODOPTIONS.
Since WFH requires a  larger rescope, I rejected that title. That left remote work and remote working, both logical possibilities. I pretty arbitrarily chose the former, as both were well attested in the discussion and nobody really debated whether to use the gerund form or not. Again, the decision between remote work and remote working should NOT be considered "decided" now. If anyone wants to file a new request, please do.   Red Slash 22:49, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Telecommuting →  – Working From Home or WFH is way more WP:COMMONNAME compared to Telecommuting. Around 20 times more number of results in google search. WFH has increased a lot since the Covid outbreak, so things have changed in the last 1 year compared to previous move request. Crashed greek (talk) 10:47, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Remote working runs a close second, but it's moot I think. I am self-employed and work for clients from my home office. Is that remote working? (Hint: does the taxwoman apply business rates to all or part of your property?) 85.67.32.244 (talk) 00:36, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  Firstly, it isn't really appropriate to !vote in a discussion you're a nominator of - this should really be a comment. Secondly, when I suggested "Remote working" (which by virtue could include variations like "Remote work"), you said it wasn't a WP:COMMONNAME, yet now it is? Even if RW(ing) gets consensus, the mover would need to know which variation is preferred, which doesn't seem clear at the moment. Bungle (talk • contribs) 06:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

message: OMG do we really need 29 subsections of benefits of drawbacks, many of which are just a couple of sentences long? This is horribly organized, and even the titles of these creep towards original research. I suggest we create a section of Benefits, and then a difference section of Drawbacks and then try to cluster more intelligently within each. --ZimZalaBim talk 20:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like most of the disorganization was caused by a since-banned editor named Ward330 who made several unexplained major edits on November 29 and January 29-31. I've restore some of the old section headings. Jade Ten (talk) 20:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

text: Under "Potential Drawbacks and Concerns" there's a section titled "Negative aspects of remote work". Just to be clear, it's a real shock to read that negative aspects might be a potential drawback or concern(!) Why is it there, this redundancy? 92.40.197.220 (talk) 08:05, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Distributed workforce seems like remote work from a more corporate perspective. The text sort of reads like an MBA's class project but maybe there's something useful to move over. The list of sources at the end seems potentially useful. Apocheir (talk) 20:43, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
