Description

Before maximum telework, there was flexiplace and telecommuting. Agencies in the late 20th century had a version of telework, though that version seems like it belongs in the stone age to modern eyes used to VPNs, Slack and other modern components of telework. 

Tom Shoop is editor at large and the former executive vice president and editor in chief at GovExec Media. He is also the author of a post in his "That Time" series headlined "That Time Even Minimum Telework Was Viewed With Wonder and Fear." He joined the podcast to talk about the history and evolution of telework at agencies.
