Working from Home

I have recently been hired as a team leader for an american company, we work from home.
This is a total new experience to me, Being used to the workplace, driving each day to work, sitting on a desk in some office, greeting friends everyday and making my coffee..it is just different, you know?
I manage 3 people, it is all about projects, deliverables, ensuring proper coding guidelines are followed, quality measures are in place, new requirements and design are accommodated and applied. Then comes the administrative work, from timesheets, invoices, daily reports, learning projects, meetings, team leaders planning and coordination with usa teams.
At home, you have your cable, broadband, AC, privacy, own workplace, you can set your own rules, work the way you like.
You have a chance to use the morning to make official papers, visit the bank, do some shopping, talk to friends...etc
You also get to gain american work experience, understand the process and work dynamics of american companies.
Salaries are relatively acceptable compared to other salaries offered in your home town but compared to usa they make you eligible for social aid.
You can also have a daytime job, or apply for masters or PhD, take some course or read some book, involve your self in some activity or sports.
The problem is you start to lose your health, not going out, staying in one place for a long time, not seeing people...etc
You also lose benefits like health insurance, social insurance and any labor rights -if there were any in your country. But you get to pay no taxes as your contract is with a foreign company from another country. Basically your status with your home land is unemployed.
Outsourcing business is good for developing countries but bad for developed ones, I can feel that as I am applying for canadian immigration and due to the fact that Canada is outsourcing as well, I might not find any openings or decent jobs when I get to go there one day.
It is a hard equation, its solution is simply getting developing countries to be developed, providing better education and making solid rules for minimum accepted salaries, investing in technology and changing government strategies to foster that business.
Anyways, I will be traveling to usa with my B1/B2 visa next month on a business trip to attend some training, meet my american managers and maybe go to tech-ed conference, more details about that trip will be posted later.
