Real Telecommuting Job

StellaCommute offers a no-frills outline of a proposal you can write to persuade your employer to allow you to telecommute. StellaCommute points out that it is essential to stick to the facts, i.e. how telecommuting benefits your employer:

The most important thing to realize when you’re pitching telecommuting is that the boss doesn’t really care that much about your reasons for wanting to do it Don’t waste your breath explaining about your blood pressure, the fact that your high school kid can’t be trusted home alone with the cable TV, how you can’t morally justify driving your car three hours a day in an era when the polar ice caps are dissolving.

These “facts” just cloud your proposal. And they don’t help make your case.

Your boss only wants to know just how is it that you propose to actually get work done in your pajamas. Better yet, she wants your assurances that you won’t ever work in your pajamas.
