Supervising Telecommuters: I have never personally had the chance to supervise someone who is a telecommuter. When I think of a telecommuter I picture a guy or girl who never gets out of their pajamas and has pizza boxes stacked over their messy house while they work. I am not trying to offend anyone if you have telecommuted for work. My whole career I have been in some sort of hands on job, so it is hard for me to understand this concept. It would be great to hear some insight from the class on this topic.
Is there anyone who has good experience with telecommuting? If so, what sort of challenges did you face? How would you supervise someone who is a telecommuter effectively?
