lightNlife,
Wow! Congrats!!! I wish my employer had a heart (or was at least reasonable) like yours.
My only caution is that you get everything in writing. Say it is for your records. It is very important to CYA. My employer stated before I started that as the year progressed my duties would change and my income would increase. He also said that telecommuting for one or two days a week was OK, and or I could telecommute in the AM and come into the office in the PM. I did not get it in writing and now my duties have changed, my income has not changed in the 20 months I have been employed with this company, and I am told not only can I not telecommute, but I really need to aim to arrive in the office at 8AM and no longer 9 AM to accommodate for my AM congestion, something that was acceptable before. Because nothing was in writing, I have no recourse and my choice is to accommodate or leave the job.
GET IT ALL IN WRITING.
Otherwise this is Awesome!
Best,
Grendel
