Re: strange

I'd be interested in AT&T's and Intel's reasoning behind the reverse.
I don't work at either company, but where I work we've had telecommuting for 4-5 years. The company began aggressively encouraging it a year or two ago as a way to save on real estate costs. I go 2-3 months at a time without going in the office and am considering taking off for South America for 3 months, working from there (something the article says may have been viewed as an abuse of the system).

Personally I don't like it. I like to come in the office, see coworkers. I think it creates a sense of engagement, purpose, team. I like the flexibility to do personal things during the day and work at night or the weekend (or to work from anywhere). But, after 2-3 months I don't feel like I'm really part of something.

Is this even after participatory mailing lists, conferences, pictures of each other and each others' projects and personal lives, and general communications of each other personally, or has that been eliminated due to some aborted concept that it is not necessary?
