    A colleague just asked me the following question, and I didn't know of any research on the topic.  Anyone have any leads?
     
    "Are you aware of any research suggesting that people who work remotely are more likely to be laid off than people who are in the office?"
     
    Thanks,
    Denise

    Hello
    I will have to remember where I saw the research, but there was some work done regarding the effects of working remotely on supervisor evaluation and promotion. If I recall correct, it seemed that working remotely was negatively associated with promotion.

    Thanks to those who responded to my initial query (below) about whether teleworkers are more likely to be laid off than their in-office counterparts.  No one identified research which addresses this question but several pointed to research which looks at the connections between teleworkers and promotion opportunities.  The responses are summarized in the attachment.
