Day Camp 4 Developers #2: Telecommuting
5 Mar 2011 at on-line

Interesting talk. Lots to think about with the practicalities of working from home, especially in terms of doing too much work and not enough family.

Great session!! Lots of pointers, need to set limits at home no matter where I work I think. It's too easy to bring work home with me now.

Lig, thanks for your view of the work/life balance. I guess there are some rules I need to discuss with my wife ;). Seriously some really good points on managing situation that can quickly become difficult and unhealthy for family relationships. I feel anyone working at home must have a location that is dedicated to work so that you can separate work from family stuff.

Nicely done Ivo! It made me think of some questions I get from my bosses and how I can counter them. I actually don't mind folks working from home too much, but sometimes convincing those above me that it's a good idea is a little sticky.

Thanks so much the talk, Lorna! I wish I'd heard this back in the day when I was working from home. It also will give me some more things to mention to my folks who do work from home!

I've just recently been thinking of diving into the world of full time telecommuting. This Blunt Up front "This is how it may be" presentation was a great insight into how to bring up the subject to management.

Thanks Ivo, great talk--good points!

very well balanced talk with some great content.

Great perspective on remote work from someone who has to has to support it from the office side.

Really great to hear a manager's perspective. Full of practical advice on how to get a manager to say yes to letting you telecommute, and very well delivered.
