TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It might be kind of interesting for all of the people who
telecommute (like me) to compare notes. Maybe someone could help me
come up with some informal survey type questions if these don't cover
it?
How about these for a start:
Where do you live? (Be specific.)
What kind of company do you work for?
Do you like working at home? Why or why not?
What are the conditions of being able to work from home? What does
your boss require?
Do you feel you are treated differently than other employees?
How do you deal with distractions at home?
Do you have your own equipment or is it on loan from the company?
Are you a contractor or a full/part time employee?
Do you think you get paid more or less than someone who works in
the office?
What's the best thing about working from home? The worst?
Any takers?
