Work From Home
Many businesses are allowing some employees to telecommute, or work from home. The congress even passed legislation forcing some government agencies to let workers telecommute. Funding for these agencies will decrease if they don’t comply.
A lot of work can be done just as easily from home. If you think you can get your work dome at home, and would like to do so, you need to show your boss how it benefits the company. Usually, the greatest fear management has is workers slacking off.
If you want to make this change you need to convince your boss that you can be productive. Show them that you can get the work done. If you can do that, you have a good chance to start saving gas.
