I work in IT in the finance industry, at Canary Wharf - The transport links are abysmal, and during the rush hours trains are always overcrowded. - I have "modern technology" links at home (Broadband and phone) and I am allowed to work from home occasionally (i.e. not all the time, and there has to be a good reason). - It is much easier and more convenient to do my job in the office. - Yes, you can have meetings via conference call over the phone, but it is much better to get everyone together in an office. - It is far easier to get things from a colleague by going to their desk and having a quiet chat than by phoning them. - My clients on the trading desks are not allowed to do their jobs from home. This is a regulatory requirement. - Lastly and most importantly - you can't have a drink with your colleagues and clients after work if you're all working from home. -- Jane British OO, American and Australian HO, and DCC in the gardenhttp://www.yddraiggoch.demon.co.uk/railway/railway.html There's lots of nice houses in the docklands. If you choose to live miles away from where you work, the commute is your own fault. |
