How to Convince Your Boss to Let You Work from Home
怎样说服你的老板让你在家里办公
If you want to work from home there are a few things you need to know and do before you can attempt to try to build a good case that your employer should allow you to work from home.
如果你想在家里工作的话，那么有几件事情你必须预先弄清楚并做好，这样你才能建立一个良好的实例来证明你上司应该让你在家工作。
Step 1: Be Sure You Can Work from Home
确保你能够在家里工作
Ask yourself these questions before going to the time and trouble to state your case for working from home:
在花时间麻烦地说明你在家工作的情况之前先问问你自己以下问题：
1）Is your job one that can be effectively be done from home? If not, could it be restructured to make it work from home friendly?
你的工作是否是那种在家里做会更有效率的？如果不是的话，是否可以重新构建，使在家工作的方式更友好？
2）Are you sure that you have the self discipline necessary to work from home? What evidence do you have or examples can you cite that would back up that statement?
你是否确定你有回家工作的自律性？你能够举出什么样的实例或证据来证明你所说的？
3）How many days per week working from home would satisfy you?
每周在家工作几天能让你满足？
4）Are you trying to climb the ladder of success in your career? If so, will future promotions be sacrificed if you are "out of sight and out of mind" while you work from home?
你是否致力于攀登事业成功的阶梯？如果是的话，那么，当你在家里工作“眼不见心不烦”的时候，你是否愿意牺牲未来可能的升职机会？
Step 2: Get Your Work from Home Facts Together
将你在家工作的相关资料整理在一起
You need to be armed with hard data and you need to be able to convince your employer that working from home is not only in your best interest, more importantly (to them), it's in their best interest too.
你需要用强有力的数据让你的上司相信，在家里工作不只对你有利，更重要的是符合他们的最佳利益。
1）Find out if your company already has a work from home program in place. Human resources is a good place to find this out. Even if they don't, plans may be in the works that you might not know about.
找出是否你的公司存在在家工作者的先例。人力资源部是发现这一点的最佳部门。即使他们不知道，也可能有一些你所不知道的工作计划。
2）If people are already working from home in your company, find out how you can contact them. Even if you don't know any of the telecommuters personally, see if any of your contacts at work can put you in touch with them. Once you reach them, see if they can offer you some tips on how best to approach the idea and see if they'll share what worked for them.
如果你的公司有在家工作的同事，找出他们的联系方法。即使你和所有的远程工作者都没有私交，也要看看其他同事是否可以帮忙使你和他们联系上。一旦和他们联系上后，询问他们是否可以就怎样实现自己的想法给你提供一点建议，或和你分享一些对他们有用的方法。
3）Compile facts about you and your position. What can you say to prove that you are trustworthy and reliable and that you have the self discipline to work independently. Is there any information on your past performance reviews that might back you up? How will working from home impact others on your team, and what can you do to prevent problems?
将自身和职位相关的资料整理编辑好。你可以说什么来证明你值得信任，是可靠的呢？还有，你用什么来证明你有独立工作的自律性呢？在你过去的表现中是否有可以证明这些的事实存在呢？在家工作会给你的团队中其他成员带来什么样的影响呢？你能做些什么来保证不出问题呢？
