I am in the camp of, it works for some but for a majority of workers and more important, managers, companies need to put forward some effort to train them to be effective. some are ineffective in the use of their time and subject to distraction. training can mitigate this.

however we also need consider that some corporations are way too proud of their headquarters or other buildings and having them fully staffed is part of that pride. something that also needs to be addressed.

now work from home can also means it can end up in a situation where you need to compete more on a world stage for employment. once some companies adapt to having remote workers does it really matter where they are? this can lead to wage erosion and even at times cultural conflicts.
