How to Get Your Boss to Let You Work From Home
Dear CC: I want to ask my boss if I can work from home, but is that career suicide? A: As someone far wiser (and far randier) than CC put it, it depends on what the meaning of the word is is. If you're a road warrior - in sales, for instance, or software development - then your advancement will depend more on what you're bringing in or turning out and less on face time. If your field is collaborative, then your rise could be hindered without the team-building, brainstorming, kismet, or kiss-ass moments office life provides. But a career is rarely a steady, steep incline. Your life changes, your role changes, and you can get back to being in the office full-time when you're ready, if both you and your company are savvy.
