“One drawback of telecommuting is the lack of face-to-face interaction and collaboration.”

True or false?

On one hand, I want to say this is false because my company has employees split up in multiple states and we have rather heavy collaboration through e-mail, video conference calls, knowledgebases, and project boards. I can’t tell if the exam writers would be trying to prove a point about advancements in technology and social progressions.

On the other hand, I want to say this is true because I think about Marissa Mayer’s controversial decision to end telecommuting at Yahoo so that people could have spontaneous discussions while they’re face-to-face.

For the purposes of the BEC exam, what should the answer be?

BEC - 87 | 02/28
REG - 70 | 06/10, REMATCH | 08/30
AUD - XX | 09/10
FAR - XX | 12/10

there is no right answer to this. you are overthinking it. “the examiners' intent about technology/social advancements/etc…” just made me LOL at work. thx, i needed that this morning 😀

another word of advice: dont waste valuable study time on WC for BEC. WC requires 30min – 45 min studying tops. just shower them with keywords(esp for IT-ish questions like this one,) a proper introduction restating the question. and some typical memo ending clause like “please to contact me shall you have any more questions/.” the writing portion is incredibly easy, esp. once you realize it is graded by a machine. i highly urge you sped that time studying MCQ instead.

i vote TRUE. But where did you get the question and why do you not have the answer?

Edit- ok this is a writing prompt question? So we just write a 3 paragraph answer that is our opinion, and use good grammar?

FAR- 80
BEC- 75
AUD- 78
REG- ?

this was one of the probe questions in the NINJA simulations/written content portions

Yes, it was part of written content but I could see this being a multiple choice on the real exam.

BEC - 87 | 02/28
REG - 70 | 06/10, REMATCH | 08/30
AUD - XX | 09/10
FAR - XX | 12/10
