Working from home, vs working at work.
You know, everyone always looks at the positives/negatives of doing so. Ultimately its not about where you work, its about having clear KPI's and meeting those.
From what I have seen, the work from home stuff, generated a lot more useless work than actual work in a lot of people. Also, if you get outsourced, because remote working sees work going offshore to someone getting paid less to do a lot more, then I dont see how people can complain.
When push comes to shove, there is a case for remote working, and a case for not, but ultimately its not a one size fits all approach. I prefer not to commute, but there are some things you just cannot do remotely, and remote workers end up delegating tasks to people on premise, to get away with working from home, leaving on premises resources over worked.
Where this gets really problematic, is to do with what people consider work. Also, when you get one of those useless resources, they can get away with a lot more remotely. Although, i have seen plenty sleeping at the office.
