What kind of office job do you have that you can't work from home?

I can (but dont full time). The person I was talking about probably technically could but they are much more efficient in the office and the decision was made that they have to come back.

To your question, there are clearly some office jobs that cant be done from home easily for example, if people handle sensitive or confidential information its much cheaper and easier to support and manage them when they are in a secured environment. But the larger issue is that businesses are free to establish their work culture and principles as they see fit. Whether its working from home or more common decisions like acceptable work attire they are free to make those decisions. Employees are equally free to work under those conditions or not.

Im in no way against working from home but its not the great next thing the way people pretend it is. It brings a lot of challenges from management and support that companies have to deal with and factor into whether or not it is worth doing.
