Workin' in your undies.

You know, if American companies were serious about the conservation of energy and the environment, they would begin to revolutionize the "workplace" by seriously offering more opportunities to work at home. That is, on a large scale.

When I worked at Hewitt, which is essentially a benefits call center, there were about 4000 people in the building (I think). At least 3,500 of us were on the phones, in front of computer, with very little required interaction and physical work to be done. Most documentation is scanned and accessed electronically. Can you imagine the reduction in their "footprint" if half the workforce took those calls at home? What if every call center began doing this?

Come to think of it, they have moved so far towards a temp workforce that it would be unreasonable.

And it would take a leap of faith in their employees to trust they aren't smoking weed and watching porn while speaking with customers. But I still like the idea.
