Description

I work within a large IT organization and the people in my department have been given the opportunity to work from home. If I do, does it reduce my opportunities for promotion or increase my chances of getting laid off?


In short, the answer to your question regarding the effect of working virtually on promotions and layoffs is that it depends on the following:



  • Your company’s culture and norms regarding working virtually

  • The percentage of people at your company that work remotely

  • How visible you can be on a day-to-day basis to your boss and others

  • How effectively you can perform your job remotely


Now let’s discuss these items one at a time . . .
