I catually ended up designating on of the room in my house as my office. Lock it up and the kids won't bother me. When you think about it, it only saves commuting time, working sometimes take even longer

One shouldn’t overlook the enormous benefits a border-less workforce can have for businesses. We aren’t limited geographically in the talent we have access to. And in a knowledge business, this is an enormous advantage. For us, it has meant never having to compromise or settle when it comes to hiring.

Hi Dawn
I just rediscovered WebWorkerDaily when someone at BizSugar.com voted for your post. I’m so glad I did. This post is terrific because I’m working on a post for our new blog about trends in staffing, the growing use of online scheduling for remote workers, and other topics in this niche. The founder of Shiftboard talks often about the grassroots movement that is empowering the worker and your piece resonates for me. As we get going, I’ll link over to your post, for sure. Thanks again.

I'm part of a festival which is going to investigate these themes by trying to get people out of the cubicle & into public spaces to work. It will be taking place in September in New York City, San Francisco, Paris and (my part) Cornellà, Barcelona. Check it out BREAKOUT!

[...] Workplace Trends: The End of Cubicle Dwelling?: “While outsourcing isn’t new, the rapid increase in the number of remote workers is. According to WorldatWork, ‘the number of employee telecommuters in the U.S. increased 39 percent, from 12.4 million in 2006 to 17.2 million in 2008.’ Businesses are actively seeking to embrace remote working as it lowers overheads — see Simon’s post on GigaOM Pro, ‘Enabling the Web Working Revolution’ (subscription required). Anecdotally, I seem to see more and more people working remotely from home offices and coffee shops.” [...]

It’s amazing that more people aren’t telecommuting with today’s advanced technology. I think people are afraid to not have face time, or be perceived as a slacker. Video conferencing is the key to eliminating the remaining barriers to telecommuting. By enabling employees and managers to instantly connect face to face, trust is no longer an issue b/c they can actually see each other working and collaborate as if they were in the same room. Video conferencing also has other far reaching business benefits like reduced travel costs and increased productivity because you can always meet face-to-face with anyone no matter where you or they are located. Once video conferencing is more widely adopted, there is no doubt enterprises will embrace teleworking because the business case is just too strong.

@Khürt – Godin isn’t talking about traveling for work. He’s talking about a rise in remote working, which should surely be good for those with families – less commute means more time with the kids, more flexibility to deal with the school run, etc.

Ahh … pundits. I say, get married, have some kids and then tell us how to maintain long term ( 18 or more years ) relationships with spouses and kids when you are always traveling for work.

I think a lot of people are trading cubicle dwelling for outdoor dwelling. More and more people are living a hybrid life of work and play.
