Tech-as-tether has been a reality for at least a decade now.

Most working Americans are taking their work home with them. Except POTUS.

I am really, REALLY trying to get my company to allow me to work from home roughly 90% of the time with no luck. OTOH, I come in to work and leave every day completely empty handed.

And I don’t feel the least bit guilty about it.

I rarely see any of the people I work with and all meetings now are done via the phone and screen sharing.

They should have never stepped into an office to begin with. Work is what you do not where you do it.

That said, the economy sucks and thus people are working hard to maintain their current job.

Whenever I hear a union type bitch about their 40 hour work week I want to spit nails.

My husband brings home work every weekend, and puts in about 18 hours Saturday and Sunday. Nothing to do with newfangled technology, telecommuting, etc. There simply isn’t enough time to finish all that’s piled on him during the week at the office.

He was interviewing a young applicant with his newly acquired PhD and the kid asked him, “Will I really have to work 40 hours a week?!?” DH’s response: “If you’re lucky.”

I’m Ed Carson, news editor at Investor’s Business Daily. I also edit IBD’s Capital Hill blog and contribute some articles.

Funny, I can't find a single article you've "contributed." Your entire posting history is one-sentence teasers to IBD bloggers, posted under News. You haven't replied to a single thread.

Glad FR exists as your business platform.

Why the excerpt?

Is there porn on the MySpace page you linked to?
