Of course, those who prefer to work at home cite not just the cost and time of commuting, but also the proliferation of meetings – too much culture, perhaps – and a steady flood of communication that simply interrupts their work rather than enhancing it. Interestingly, I heard this point at a WPP Stream “unconference” in Phuket, Thailand, where a couple of hundred people had flown thousands of miles to meet face to face to share ideas and strengthen working relationships.
当然，喜欢在家工作者的论据不仅包括沟通需要成本和时间，也包括会议滋生——也许是太“多”的文化——和稳定的过度沟通只能干扰其工作，而起不到促进作用。有趣的是，我在泰国普吉岛WPP Stream“非会议”（unconference）上听说了这一点，在那里，好几百人从千里之外飞来面对面分享关于强化工作关系的心得。
