The arrival of Jason and David's book, Remote, is fantastic and I can't wait to read it. I think it is crystal clear that, if done properly, many people would lead much happier livers if they had the ability to choose where they worked from. People could still collaborate online with colleagues, probably lead healthier lives, be more productive, and be judged based on execution rather than whether they are at their desk earlier or later than others, even if they are just sitting there on, Faceboo or Reddit…. or HN ;-).
There are many companies of all sizes that support employees domestically and internationally working remotely. IBM, HP, Kaplan, The US Government, a number of major insurance companies, and many other organizations hire remotely. This gives access to a much broader talent pool.
Also, "The Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the entire five-year cost of implementing telework throughout government ($30 million) is less than a third of the cost of lost productivity from a single day shut down of federal offices in Washington DC due to snow ($100 million). - See more at: http://www.globalworkplaceanalytics.com/telecommuting-statis...
I've always found it time consuming to filter through all the crappy jobs when searching for good opportunities that allow you to work remotely. I'm actually working on creating a curated search experience specifically for jobs in all industries where people are able to work remotely. We're not quite set to launch yet but for anyone interested in staying updated I'd love you to register here. http://klearsearch.com/
Feedback from this community when we launch would be really great.
