I’m not surprised at the results. Prior to my current job, I telecommuted for 4 years very successfully. Unfortunately, telecommuting requires well defined goals and good leadership. Both lacking in my current employment. Therefore limiting my telecommuting options.

Obviously, telecommuting is ideal for only a particular type of employee. They are the well managed employees with a well defined goals… goals that can be measured in time usage. Otherwise abuse abounds… and I’m sure Cisco has their share of abusers… the ones who stay home and log in once in a while to send and respond to an e-mail making their bosses think they’re “working” that one or two times a week.

Sun’s had “drop in” workstations/cubicles/”offices” (think large phone booth w/desk surface and a door) available for many years… I think this is a great idea, as long as there are enough types of spaces available for the people that need them (meeting rooms, private cubicles, etc)
