I disagree that it takes more "concentration and effort" to work at home than in one of those "bullpen" offices that so many companies now seem to favor, with little or no private or semi-private space for any employees. I have had WFH options as an ordinary applications programmer since the lat

I think WFH is one place where, especially, everyone's different. For a few years one of my employers had a bunch of us developers working in a cubicle environment where the walls were only waist-high. I've heard since then that many folks hate that sort of thing, but the most inconvenient par

I would prefer WFM with an option to occasionally come to the office, but that assumes that I have a permanent location in the office where I can red things. Back in the old days when I had to read dumps over the telephone the distraction of other conversations was an issue. It doesn't matter wh

I've worked from home through multiple z/OS upgrades, various cpu upgrades, dasd upgrades, and tape migrations from physical to virtual. For people with the proper discipline, I have yet to see a justifiable reason for being in the office. This is the year 2020, not 1950. Except for perhaps
