Not really according to my understanding. Telecommuting implies that there is also a physical office in a different location in which other employees are located, and which is your companys base of operations.

I do not work from home.
The company has the policy for employees only -- I am a consultant.
Even if I had the option, I rather come to the office -- personal choice.

I work from home when there is off-hours maintenance to be done. Also when the weather demands (living in MN that can be several days each winter) or if I need to be there for stuff like appliance repairman, to recieve a delivery, etc.

When my projects involve lots of off hours work on production boxes it can be up to 1/3 working from home, but typically it is more like 5-10%

Home at least 3 days a week, depending on client meetings or specific on-site requirements for pen-testing or information discovery with tech teams. Other than that I work from my home office (converted garage) writing security policies, build baselines etc. I also spend what would be a 3 hour round-trip commute time working and getting much more done. But the music is loud, the kettle is nearby to keep the coffee flowing and combat trousers are my work wear! happiest at work I've been in years.

I would LOVE to work from home. It's amazing how much reluctance to it there still is after all these years.

Of course, when on call I am permitted to work from home... because of the timely response...
