Christophe? What are you worried about? We talk.
I wanted to invite everyone to reflect on their personal case, especially since it is not at all sure that if a company N offers teleworking to N 'people, it will save on the proportional amount of energy: when you see empty offices lit "a giorno" in the evening around 19 pm in large cities, questions arise.
Now, what proportion of workstations are really convertible to teleworking? And if they are, are we not going to relocate them? (We have relocated Jupiler's accounts in the Czech Republic and there are now Dutch-speaking call centers in Bulgaria)
Telework harmful to the greenhouse effect?

I do not bring ... I explain 
Yes it is a safe bet that when companies can really relocate teleworking (a major part of the profession of executive would be easily feasible in telecommuting not?) They will do much more ... see the Indian programmers ... but also we deviate ...

There are some differences between teleworking and offshoring:
Otherwise, another comment about this study is that it does not consider homemakers at all. Only couples exist whose 2 work (so we reduce the heating during the day). If one of the 2 (and any children) are at home during the day, it's full pipo !!!
- In general, teleworking is only part-time. The employee comes to work for meetings (or others) one day a week and, as such, shares a common office with other employees who do not come the same day as him. It is more difficult to bring an Indian one day a week.
- What is relocatable is what does not require particular knowledge (or know-how). Companies are not stupid either. They will not risk getting their techs hooked on by foreign subcontractors by giving them to do their most strategic processes. This is where employees must be most vigilant: when know-how is externalized, it is the first step towards relocation ...

objection your honor: you would be surprised: computer firms outsource their developments, the art is to split the work. (and it can even be done in a hut made of corrugated iron sheets)
Even in biotechnology: lab technicians can do tests that last days and days and require lots of manipulation, without knowing what they do
finally, we leave the subject, sorry

In this period of partial unemployment, I hesitate a little anyway.
I'll let the night over and see ...
... maybe going through the unions, it would be less hot?

Well, I do not know your box ...
I don't see what the unions are doing in this "demand" ...
Just pass him in private "for info" ... now I don't know the size of your box ...
