[QUOTE=Jeeves] Oh, and the official reason/excuse is not control but that they don’t have a business presence in Massachusettes. Is that a valid concern? [/QUOTE] They may not want to get involved with setting up Massachusetts accounts for stuff like income tax, unemployment, etc. And if your health insurance is through a local PPO or HMO, that could be a problem too. ---

[QUOTE=Jeeves] Oh, and **Danalan** , that was the first thing they offered, but the mister actually negotiated them quite higher 🙂 Of course, it helps that he had a better offer in hand. Oh, and the official reason/excuse is not control but that they don’t have a business presence in Massachusettes. Is that a valid concern? [/QUOTE] Cool. SO glad it worked out for you. Yeah, the business presence can be a big issue. It costs money to create/ maintain a business presence in another state. ---

That is the next stop. Once I have graduated with my masters, we are starting the application process. It has just taken a little longer to get my education finished then I originally planned. But having the degrees will really help our apps. We haven’t given up on that yet. ---

[QUOTE=Jeeves] Well, Idiot reactionary CFO found out about the plan today, and nixed it, saying that no-one that worked for his company would telecommute. . [/QUOTE] Did all the other telecommuters start having to come in every day? God for-fucking-bid you should be allowed to do your work without burning a couple of gallons of gas every day.
