Management was always worried about productivity, goofing off. People will just find their time doing something else instead, go down the tubes. None of that happened. None of it. - Jack Nilles

Jack wrote the original 'Telecommuting' research in the '70s while at USC
Nick contributed another anchor piece in 2014
The data is clear. Performance goes up.
BTW - Jack recently celebrated his 92nd trip around the sun.
What a thrill to spend an hour with the sage.
Happy Birthday Jack.
