The Rise Of The Mobile Workplace - GoFuckYourself.com

GTS Mark · 08-09-2011, 10:49 PM

The era of the 9-to-5 job is over. Even just a few years ago, you were expected to commute to work, put in your hours and drive back home. Once you left work, it was done until you came back into the office the next way.

Thanks to laptops, smartphones, tablets and Wi-Fi, that has all changed. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can file reports, hold meetings, edit proposals and complete practically all of your work tasks remotely. As a result, telecommuting is on the rise, and more and more work is completed via our mobile devices.

Social contact manager Gist, acquired by RIM earlier this year, has analyzed some of the data about the rise of the mobile workforce, detailing where they prefer to work and the devices they use to do it. The infographic below provides a nice overview of this very important business trend.

Check out Gist?s infographic, and let us know how much of a mobile worker you are in the comments below.

Indeed, I have been working remotely for the last ten years or so. It's reassuring to know that more and more people are doing the same...

Working remotely is the best thing ever. I'm really happy and productive and I don't need to carve out 2-3 hours a day for commuting.

CaptainHowdy · 08-10-2011, 07:33 AM

It's the end of times too ...

I work with a large internet marketing company and I find it rather amusing that some people still bust out the door at 5pm sharp and will not respond to emails until the next day. One said that she doesn't have a computer at home.

No offense, but if you do not have a computer at home, how can you hold an internet based job?

For most corporations this has been going on for quite some time. Not for all employees, but usually around 50% of them.
