Corporations Picking Up Bill for Co-Working

Chris Jurney loves his job as a senior programmer of video games with Relic Entertainment. So when he moved from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Philadelphia because of his wife’s work, he was worried that he might not be able to return to his job.

But after a stint at a sister company, Jurney was thrilled that his bosses at Relic said he could come back to work for them and telecommute from his home in Philadelphia. But as many teleworkers soon realize, working from home can quickly lose its appeal.

“I was going totally stir crazy,” Jurney says.

The 31-year-old pitched a new idea to his boss. He found a place called Independents Hall just 30 minutes from his home, where he could share office space, have his own desk, free Internet, a conference room and all the coffee he could drink for $275 a month.
