Full Timers....
 

Do most of you have an office that you rent out and employees or do you primarily work from home and hire on contract telecommute?

Jut curious what the big doggies do? In regards to affiliates more so than paysite owners. Most paysite owners for certain have commercial office space if big I imagine.

Series of tubes

An office and all in-house employees here. We have a handfull of people working from home doing gruntwork but I prefer to have all people in the office as it is much more productive.

Man of 1.

I work from home. I have a full time dedicated home office with professional office furniture and two work stations each with multiple monitors.

I'll never work in an office again. I picked this house to buy because it was close to the ICS Playboy office, but working from home increases my productivity by double - I can work nights, weekends, etc, without having to physically leave.

I have an office. I can login remotely to work from home on evenings and weekends, or if my wife has something that entails that I watch our 1 year old son, but otherwise I'm in my office. I just find that I'm more productive there then when I am working from home, (which probably has something to do with having a 1 year old running around). Also the office building is about 90 seconds from my place.

My own office at home. More work gets done this way.

from home, so i work all day long :|

i like big doggies doo...

Thats interesting discussion.

Outsourced employee:
1. WAY smaller salary
2. (Sometimes) no or less taxes [lets not discuss this, number 1 and 3 are enough]
3. no office space expenses, (and no toilet expenses :winkwink: )

So you save a lot.
But of course if that employee is in the office he (usually) does more work. Question is how much more he does? For instance all in all 2 outsourced employees could cost same as 1 in house employee. So that in house employee must do twice as much as any of those outsourced. Does he do that much more work?

I have an office and employees

We used outsourcing services a few times for grunt work. For the projects we do its more efficient to have all people around at the same time. No waiting for replies on emails or calls and no time zones to worry about. Being able to walk up to the people working on something is worth much more to me than the few euros we would save on the salary/office space.

Besides that I would not allow anyone to work on our backend system (as a dev) or give access to our backend if he wasnt an in-house employee. Too much at stake here ;)

For easy tasks which need little communication sure outsource it, for (bigger) projects I prefer in-house people only.

I agree... :2 cents:

Thanks for sharing some of your philosophies and methods of work environment Roald.

From home.

I used to rent an office even though it is just me then when I bought the house I live in now it had an extra bedroom which I turned into an office so I work there now.

I used to have two offices, in different cities with a few employees. Now it's just me working out of my house :thumbsup

What are the little sheds at the end of the docks?

I run it from the strip club.

Much more productive, but some people posted that they are more productive at home. Strange.

Boatslips...

I work from home. Like Rochard I can't fathom working in an office environment again. I contract people right from the GFY sell/buy forum and get contracted from there as well.

Nice pad, Jesus. :)

I work from home :thumbsup
