Expect a lot of the usual punching-down in response to this. “Carpool. Brown bag your lunch.” and so on.

I agree with the article that real estate is at the core of the issue. Always follow the money.

However, I also think some mid-level supervisor types get off on the power trip of making subordinates do things they don’t want to do, such as wasting several hours a week commuting and polluting between home and office.

And of course you’ll always have the suckups who want to score points by acting so eager to show up in person. They are the reason it’s so hard to unify and fight these measures in many shops.

I’m not talking about people who have a genuine preference for working in the office. There are many legitimate reasons to have such a preference. I’m talking about psychos who want to force everyone to do it when it’s not necessary, and don’t support telecommuting as a legitimate way to work.

This is the ONLY thing they listen to. If you want to work from home and your employer doesn’t let you, it’s time to quit.

I have nothing bad to say about people who prefer going in to the office. I respect your preference and I understand it is necessary for some positions. You are valuable, too, and there’s plenty of places that would love to have you.

There’s room in this work world for both types of jobs. It’s not an either-or choice.

Anyone who can WFH and wants to WFH should be allowed to do so, full stop.
