Work is changing. Whoever wrote the article has an hourly wage assembly line mentality and/or has never tried it. Working from home is win-win-win: Win for individuals who can be more effecient with their time by capturing idle time that would be lost in the office and putting it to good use, win for employers because its a cheap benefit that can boost morale, reduces personal days (personal business can be when businesses and gov't offices are open), reduces sick time (no more mental health days), increase retention, and means that you can employ talent from anywhere (increases talent pool and decreases costs) at any time (24-7 response capability), win for society because it reduces pollution, fuel demand and infrastructure demand (i.e. traffic). This is the wave of the future.
