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?

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.

Oh, and Danalan, that was the first thing they offered, but the mister actually negotiated them quite higher :slight_smile: Of course, it helps that he had a better offer in hand.

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.

Jeeves - what happened to the plans to move to the Great White North?

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.

Well, Idiot reactionary CFO found out about the plan today, and nixed it, saying that no-one that worked for his company would telecommute.

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.
