Managers and supervisors have generally been able to work at home now and then as they needed to - for example, to finish a budget, write a big report, or work on some other kind of task that benefits from quiet and fewer interruptions. This kind of ad hoc telecommuting for managers is likely to continue, and they will be able to use the same technology at home as their staff members will. But most managers' jobs are too unpredictable to allow for the kind of regular, several-days-a-week telecommuting that their staff might practice. This is likely to change, but for now telecommuting for managers is mostly on an exception basis.
