Backlash against telecommuting..

by Scott Stewart-9 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message


I'm in Raleigh, NC. There's not a lot of ColdFusion work down here, so I've
been trying to grab what I can get in the contract market. (There are other
factors that prevent me from moving)

Last year at this time there were a lot of telecommuting positions
available, they seem to have dried up. Is there a backlash forming against
telecommuting?

I've noticed that allot of employers seem to be shying away from
telecommuting even when presented with reasons why they shouldn't.

Just my personal viewpoint though.

Could be that if given the choice employeers are looking for inhouse.

I think it runs deeper than that, it seems as though employers won't even
consider it..

Its control They want to see you and be assured that you are working.  I
have a lot of clients that have been burned and will not go down that road
again.  Also they are seeing more quality in house candidates then the last
year or so.

Simple economics....

When the economy is doing well and skilled labour is hard to
find....employers consider ALL options that may get them the quality
staff they need.

When the economy is doing poorly, employers can be picky and get what
THEY want.

It's not rocket science when you think about it ;-)

There are a lot of positives that come from working on site as well.
 Especially if you have a niche business and the programmers see how the
business operates and are able to see things that will help efficiency.  Our
company has flown in developers many times for meetings, we do a mixture of
in house and telecommuters.

I know im gonna get crucified here but I dont consider telecomutting here as
an option unless I have no choice. If given the option I always opt for the
inhouse developer. For me its not anything to do with control, its a work
environment thing. Personally its, just much easier to build a cohesive team
this way.

Technology is getting to the point that this is not the case. That being
said most teams are simply not that mature and can not handle a single
telecommuting associate. I know many of us like to point fingers at
managers, its easy, but it really is more us the developers and team leads
that need to push our teams to work better in a geographically dispersed
fashion. Managers just recognize this and have realistic perspective on the
picture and not a bright eyed bushy tailed view on the situation. I also
agree wholly with Bryan, economy plays a big role too.

Unfortunately a few have spoiled it for the many. I know that I have had
in the 15 years that I have been in the business more than a few clients
with bad experiences etc. There have been several instances of
consultants neglecting the work due to the fact they took several remote
assignments etc.

Technology is getting to the point that this is not the case. That being
said most teams are simply not that mature and can not handle a single
telecommuting associate. I know many of us like to point fingers at
managers, its easy, but it really is more us the developers and team
leads
that need to push our teams to work better in a geographically dispersed
fashion. Managers just recognize this and have realistic perspective on
the
picture and not a bright eyed bushy tailed view on the situation. I also
agree wholly with Bryan, economy plays a big role too.
