I've seen quite a few posts of late that have indicated that folks work from home, so I'm interested to know what sort of percentage of the PH populous are home workers.. For no other reason than I'm nosey, and partially jealous..

Actually, I think I'd probably struggle to motivate myself if I worked at home, there are far too many distractions..

Currently 20hrs/week on client site (so an office, but not my office) and the rest of the time at home.

I work in a nice big office which has 2 crash sleds built in. We crash test child seats in car body shells so my office is kinda cool.

I'd say that comes under the "all over the place" category..

Its about a 60/40 split for me, 60% in the office 40% at home, it doesnt make a massive amount of difference where I work and I prefer my computer to the one in the office, am quite lucky really as we fit it into the category of "Just let the geeks get it done" so as long as its done people don't mind where we are

I particularly appreciate it when the weather is like this as it means you simply don't have to bother if you don't want to, infact my main reason for being in the office rather than at home today is I am expecting a delivery smile

lets both pretend we're not here then madbadger whistle

am office/mill based, leaving at the end of the month under VR though as all this restructuring has killed off decent career routes. tried getting a job at your place but over the water but they aren't recruiting until 2011!

good to see someone in this company has a decent car btw!
