What? People more productive?

Why? They are only: - away from noisy cubes. - away from hallway meetings. - saving time from a commute. - saving aggravation from a commute. - a few feet from their private bathrooms and break-rooms. (Not several hundred feet down a long, busy hall.)

BellSouth (now AT&T) also discovered a productivity boost among employees allowed to telecommute during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

The first two items are total productivity killers for me. I can't count the number of times I've had to put on headphones in an attempt to filter out co-workers' talking. Now if I could just get people to use complete, understandable sentences when they IM me, I'd get even more work done.
