Funny you mention the 2 - 5 year thing. My company recently implemented telecommuting and it is working very well. Not a lot of complaints from those who don't get to do it, because our company instituted a blanket rule - you have to have been there at least three years and have satisfactory performance reviews to do the telecommuting. This kind of rule gets rid of the grumbling that would happen if newbies were allowed to work from home and senior people weren't, or if more people in one area or with one type of job were allowed to work from home. As my boss says, if you aren't doing your job, I'll notice. If you are doing it, I don't care if you're in your pajamas.
