A corporate culture that manages by objective rather
than by face-time is _much_ more conducive to
teleworking. Finding a culture that really manages
this way, rather than just giving it lip service,
is difficult.
Check the archives. I remember at least one manager
who used concrete, numeric measures of writer output
who reported that those statistics went up when
writers transitioned to teleworking.
