Woud you like a flexiplace program for your job?

Flexiplace is a term used to describe where people actually work relative to their homes versus places of employment. Intead of actually going to work, you could work from home with a laptop; or you could work at a location that is close to your home, but is not techically your work place.

I already work out of my home. My employer provides my equipment, internet connection, and telephone line.

I'm all for more people working at home.

Yes, but that wouldn't really work for my job.

Back when I did work, this was my dream, to work at home, or closer. Every employment agency I went to said they didn't ever have this kind of thing - that one had to arrange it with their employer after they had been there a while.

With kids at home, it's hard for me to actually get work done there. Maybe in the future, though. My company supports employees in my organization working 1-2 days at home per week.

Already do this. I work at home an average of 2-3 days a week. All of my work is stored on my 8 gig USB stick so I can work anywhere. All I gotta do is get out of bed, walk over to the computer and I'm at work.

The positive aspects are not commuting 53 miles each way on those days, saving $20 a day in gas and the freedom to do other things around the house since I'm never totally busy at work for an entire day.

The negative aspects are being interrupted by my wife talking and the cats wanting to sit on my lap and help type.

I am self-employed - and I kind of already do. It has it's bonuses, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to split my work life from my personal life.

I work for myself, at home, at the gym, wherever... I don't really want to have a separate office to go to.

Single pick confuses me...
 * check * Other. I am a subcontractor at the office I work in.
 * check * I can work almost anywhere there is a table or I can bring my table.
 * check * I don't work in the traditional sense.
 * check * I already do this.
 * check * I am self-employed.

I would love this. Many members of my team already work from home for various reasons.

As long as I show up in the right classrooms to teach (most of the time, at least), no one much cares where I work the rest of the time. Academia is a total racket.

I'm a student right now, and I'm not sure that would be a very effective way for me to work as a doctor in the future!
