Lesson 4 - Being a Virtual Employee - Part 1

This lesson was very interesting to me, mainly because I am a virtual employee. I love hearing different people's views and thoughts on the subject, so I spent some time this week asking people about it.

I was amazed at how many people said they could never work from home. Here I am thinking it is the ideal opportunity, but many of the people I talked to said, "NO WAY!!" There seemed to be two main reasons for their feelings....first, they didn't know that they could separate their work life from the their home life, and second, they felt they were more of a "people person" and that they needed to be around people more. They didn't like the thought of not having regular interaction with people.

While I was researching this I found an interesting web page that discussed the drawbacks of managing a virtual employee. It covered both of the things I mentioned and more.......

I'm going to end this portion of my blog now - since nobody really likes to read long, drawn out, blogs. But throughout the rest of the day I will be posting a couple more parts to show some other aspects of the virtual employee.

Have a great Easter weekend everyone - and take some time to remember all the Christ did for each of us.
