What working-from-home is not

As already hinted, working-from-home does not mean having a location-independent job or being able to relocate if/when you wish.

Instead, more often than not, you are literally "grounded" in your own place to an internet connection (sometimes even to an IP address if your company makes use of a VPN) and/or to a land line.

Sometimes, you even need to be available to reach the office by 1 hour or so, in case of an emergency.

So, normally, no freedom of stay at friends or relatives for a week, unless differently specified.

For the same reasons, working from home is not necessarily "for those who love to travel" unless your job doesn't allow you to work "on the go" or to visit customers and prospects on a regular basis but do you consider business trips, maybe to the same place over and over again, a travel?

I will talk soon again about the other types of unusual jobs.
