Well, at least the idea that we all have to physically travel to a certain location is. It may be needed for certain jobs and may not be for everyone, but I think working from home could work from both the employer and the employee if it's implemented correctly. It also could reduce traffic and greenhouse gasses tremendously.

It's completely possible for IT jobs to be shipped overseas, yet the thought of a developer working remotely one day a week is still too much for most management to handle.
