What is the answer to this for remote workers? What can we do so we dont have to commute and spend all our money on coffee?
You want to work remotely? Great. Do your work remotely - including the training part.
Are you getting your work done? Does your manager know it? Are you doing the training part as well? Does your manager know that? (I suspect the last question is the key. The manager has to be able to know that this is happening.)
