Adrian Parris, Tele-worker - "One of the disadvantages is the isolation and the difficulty with training new people that come on board, finding a place to meet when you want to hold a staff meeting."
It wasn't I that changed the subject of this story, it was Parris. If all he can do is name some disadvantages, that tells me that he's a crybaby. What about the advantages like not cutting his salary, saving money on fuel costs and vehicle maintenance, which would've come out of his own pocket if he used his own vehicle. He's got advantages that the general work force doesn't have and he's griping?
On the other hand, I agree with the tele-working idea. It would probably save more than 45,000 gallons annually and would cut down on traffic conjestion to a point.
I would contest that whom is saving the 45K gallons of fuel? I would venture it is the employees totaled from their individual commutes, not the state government. Other things are saved though, like real estate costs, etc.
Some people really have nerve. Feel lucky that you have a job, Adrian. What a crybaby.
