Offices are for suckers–so says roughly 60 percent of “workers and IT professionals,” according to a new study conducted by Cisco. The company surveyed 2,600 professionals in 13 countries and determined that three in five workers believe that they would be just as productive if they worked outside of the home.

The numbers were especially lopsided in Asia an Latin America. 81 percent in China, 76 percent in Brazil, and a whopping 93 percent in India had absolutely no attachment to their respective offices.

Also interesting–45 percent of those who have access to their work information outside the office put in two to three extra hours of work a day–25 percent put in four extra hours. That’s a lot of 2:00 AM meetings.

Granted, as a major supplier of teleconferencing technology, Cisco has a fair amount invested in the results of the survey. Still, that’s not going to stop us from slipping them under our boss’s door…
