Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Telecommuting is when employees work from home and send their work to the office using a computer. For employees who spend their time typing reports or entering data, it doesn't matter where the computer is located. As long as the computer can connect to the office through a phone line, employees can finish their work at home and send it to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. Although the number of telecommuters is increasing every year, it is not growing as quickly as expected. A few years ago, Business Week published an article called "The Portable Executive," which predicted a bigger change. So, why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But also, many managers do not agree with telecommuting. They say it is hard to manage employees who are far away from each other in different places. They believe the systems to manage these employees are not ready yet, which makes their job harder.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
