Probably a pill hard to swallow for HR, I would never be more productive than from my home. I put weeks tweaking my environment for maximum productivity, I will never shy off from wearing comfy clothes and using the washroom, adjusting temperature as needed (as somebody with a higher metabolism than average). Working remotely I am being askded about the progress of work rather than why I left 5min earlier..
I understand it works better for companies too, larger talent pool, reduced costs. The negatively affected entities are neither the employees nor the the employers.
