I worked in this area during the London olympics. For the most part it's the employees that want to commute rather than the employers wanting them to. In fact, the ones you'd most expect to embrace telecommuting put up the greatest opposition. I guess there's several reasons for that ranging from habit, what the neighbours might think, the after work pint and, probably most significant, fear... fear that it's the start of an efficiency drive or of a zero based budgetary process and a fear of being out of sight, out of mind... and not getting recognition for being first in every morning and last out every evening, something of a trend these days among the ambitious youngsters.
