Why 54 percent of companies should stop blocking social media

I’ve made many of these same points myself, and made passionate arguments against blocking access to social media sites in the office, but I think this may be the most clear and concise list of reasons that I’ve ever seen.

    Linked – The Rise and Fall of Working From Home

    It’s an interesting story, but I’m going to go ahead and instead of just taking the employer’s word for what happened and why remote working doesn’t work, look at it a different way.
