Sick of sitting in your cubicle all day, but worried about what people will think once you tell them that your job involves working from home? Don't be.
According to a recent phone survey involving 556 full-timers, American men were more likely to work remotely than women:
Its research shows 36% of men say they do most of their work from remote places including home, compared to 23% of women. (Men represent about 53% of the US labor force and more than two-thirds of all commuters, according to Flex+Strategy's survey.)
Cali Williams Yost, the CEO of the consulting firm that conducted the survey, says that "...women may be reluctant to request work from home arrangements, fearing they will be shunted onto the 'mommy track."
It's also worth noting that the women surveyed were more likely to work in cubicles or open floor plans. This hesitance to work on more flexible terms could indicate that women wish to be taken more seriously in the office.
