It seems to me to be a management problem/decision. The mgmt challenge is that work from off-site is not a "one size fits all" matter. Some folks will love the flexibility and work even more because of it, most about the same, some will be tempted to slack. The challenge is how to measure and manage who can handle it and who need to be on-site and at a desk at set hours. Mgmt likes simple solutions, and "buns on seats" is that simple solution. Never mind that a slacker can slack pretty much as well in an office as anywhere else. How many jobs really measure and follow the work of systems people, in the office, or not? How many managers even know what we really do, much less how to measure it? Fortunately most of us are self starters and self motivated
