Telecommuter

Telecommuter

Telecommuters spend at least part of their workday at home or a telecottage, using computers or other telecommunications equipment. Most telecommuters live on the fringe of large cities and in the suburbs and exurbs, in what is known as the "two-hour telecommuting ring".Nowadays, they are being used by almost every office and organization. They are especially useful because they help one to work and do office stuff whilst sitting at home or any far away distance.Nevertheless, the main disadvantage for the home office is the inability to keep close watch over the employee's activities. For the telecommuter, the main disadvantage is the physical distance between the worker and the home office. Work materials are less accessible and coordinating communications can be awkward when many telecommuters work different schedules. Another disadvantage, again regarding office work, is that the boss or some other colleague might be ringing you for some urgent work, but you are fast asleep or not available, as most people who use the telecommuting method have their own timings on everything. For the telecommuter, this ability to set a more convenient schedule might be the most rewarding benefit of telecommuting.
