 After all, if employees suddenly discover that not all people who are promoted in the office and those who have worked from home are there, there could be a very good reason for a case of discrimination.

 Ann Davis, a professor in the Department of Law and Public Policy at Oxford University, agrees that a thorough study of how well boss-in-home staff are performing is needed.

 “If people work from your home, you should agree on how you are going to monitor their work and have objective criteria for evaluating how they are working,” he says. "When you promote someone, you are always open to challenge discrimination and you need to be able to do justice."

 Professor Clark says bosses need to keep in mind that it is in their interest to find the best employee for promotion.

 “Managers [sitting at home] need to work harder to identify employees who are making real efforts,” he says. "If you [as a director] really want to make a difference in your business, you need to be able to find talented people who are contributing more."

 "If my work is of the same standard that I can successfully befriend and ban the boss in the same room, he or she will be promoted above me."

 "And it's not just about being recognized for doing a good job, it's being able to blame someone else for something going wrong. Often things are a team effort when things go well or bad. And if you're actually in the office with the boss, then if something goes wrong. But you can snatch it and say, 'It was Jan's fault.'
