Your Boss Distrusts You, Hates the Environment- Enterprise IT
Chris Nerney over at the Datamation IT Management Blog reveals why your boss makes you hop into your carbon-spewing vehicle every day instead of letting you telecommute.
Sorry to break it to you, but The Man doesn't think you're trustworthy.
This recent Telecommuting Survey by software vendor Intranet DASHBOARD, written about on Intranet Journal here, reiterates the point quite clearly. Seventy percent of respondents to the U.S.-based survey reported being restricted from telecommuting. And the main reason? The Man.
More specifically, The Man's inherent suspicion that any employee not herded into a webcam'd cubicle plantation during the workday is goofing off somewhere, even if just for a few minutes.
Ebenezer, much? But this being a green blog and all, I'll take it one step further: The Man hates Mother Nature! (There's never too great a leap in logic where righteous indignation is concerned.)
Maybe some management types don't realize that many workers would gladly toss a little extra coin at their local utility to power their home office equipment rather than keep paying at the pump, which then goes out the tailpipe anyway. Giving those workers the option to work from home a day a week, for instance, could amount to a little extra cash for them and less carbon output for everyone.
And businesses benefit too. That's one less desklamp/PC/space heater/iPod charger racking up the electric bill. One less person to stink up the office with the enticing/sickening smell of microwavable popcorn. One less moocher photocopying all one million and a half pages of Harry Potter 7...
You get the picture.
