> That's all miles different from working in an office. They've got cleaning staff and a maintenance team. They've got an enterprise-class high-speed redundant Internet connection (and the on-prem servers are on your multi-GB core network.) There's a break room and free sodas in the fridge. The engineers don't need to clean their own toilets.

By saving on office costs you can just offer those benefits to your remote employees. You can hire someone to clean a residential bathroom too!
