I see those evil rich folks are creating more low-paying foreign jobs, lol. Weaker Pelosi

The reason there are so many jobs out of the country and why the wal marts and others hire and make the stuff overseas is...................IMPORT TAX...The Government gets more money on products and workers overseas and bringing the products back into this country with the import tax then if they were made here....TA DA!

""Working from home is a lay mans term for LAZY"

"That only applies to government employees. And, of course, in-office government employees too."

Wish someone would have told me that. I'm a former government employee (with UNC). I averaged 50 hours per week and often worked over 60 hours. Never less than 40. And I know many other people who did the same.

I will never understand the stereotyping of government workers. While there are some slackers (every sector of employment has some lazy people), most are hard workers. And they do their jobs for less pay and less appreciation than anyone in the private sector.

Maybe YOU would be lazy working from home. That doesnt mean others are. It is actually a very practical way for companies to be family friendly for their employees, save lots of money on facility.....as long as the employee does his work.

"Working from home is a lay mans term for LAZY" - Uhavenoclu

man, I work from home full time and I work wayyyy more than 40 hours. I typically start by 7am and don't finish until 6pm, plus I often find myself doing work email at night. When I read these sort of baseless comments, I think - 'boy, there are some really angry people out there' that will attack anything.

Being a former employee who left for greener pastures I can safely say that only a small fraction of those jobs will be in Raleigh; perhaps a couple dozen. Red Hat has a well established track record of hiring in cheap labor markets such as Pune (India), Czech Republic, and Brazil. They can hire 2-3 people in Pune for the price of one RDU employee, and the rate in the Czech Republic is even cheaper.

Not always the case my friend! My husband works from home and I can assure you he works his bum off!

Good for him,granted there are a few exceptions,and there are most unemployed who "Work" from home because they don't want to work.

Pretty simple to monitor a remote worker's production through utilization goals and to incentivize worker production with appropriate compensation programs. Best of luck for their continued success.
