Well from what I've seen in the office I wouldn't trust a lot of those people to do any work outside of the office either. I worked at home once for a few months...didn't like it & went back. Then I quit and started freelancing...you get used to your own schedule it just takes a while. At first I thought I was going to go crazy, now I am okay with it, but I work way too much, and I need a maid but I can't stand maids coming in and stealing God knows what, so my house is this big mess all the time. But seriously there are a lot of people at work, who don't work unless someone is telling them what to do constantly, I was a manager (wasn't my idea) for a couple years and finding people that actually worked without being asked, "Are you working? How long have you been sending out personal emails? I told you this morning I needed, X,Y&Z done...have you worked on it yet?" is not as easy as you think it would be. I mean some of these people are just unbelievably, arrogant and lazy. When they get a big head, they think you can't fire them so they just turn into total a-holes. Personally if I had had my choice I would have fired all of them, but it wasn't up to me. I think techies (that are self starters) should work from home or some other isolated place, they get more work done and can learn more...etc. on their own. But they have to be able to have some kind of discipline within themselves. Not everyone does.
