The realestate claim is just plain backwards. It does depend on the person, but making the claim that people in general are happy to donate part of their home to their employer and impact their families with work from home is just wrong. Emails instead of meetings should be common sense for status meetings and has no impact on the choice to work from home. Meetings that have agendas should be in person, especially if its on sensitive topics. All reasons I have listed above.

Some people sure do benefit working from home. I liked no commute, it saved a lot of money and wasted time but it made home worse.

We work to live. Work should have no place in our home.
