How much time do you give a telecommuter to respond to emails?
My coworker takes FOREVER to respond to emails when she telecommutes. At work, she tends to be much quicker. Should I say something to her? It makes me wonder if she is telecommuting or tele-SLEEPING from home! Seriously!

Just drop a subtle hint such as ‘How often do you check your emails?’ and she may realise that she keeps you waiting for replies. If she’s doing it deliberately then she’ll have to give a suitable explanation.

I telecommute and it’s important to check your e-mail frequently. It may be more difficult to access than when you are at work but you do need to check several times a day. Same goes for your office phone.
