I worked in an office and from home. The best results in my industry were from home. Offices are for people that need to be monitored. Weed those people out and smooth sailing. Most people can't handle the personal responsibility of working from home. They screw off. Once we got rid of them it worked out well.

Right, but if you're saying that some % of people needs to be in an office to be productive a given company can let those people go, but they have to work in an office somewhere, right?

Sure, but they don't have to be in heavily leveraged, expensive, corporate properties downtown. Hell, if they're struggling to be productive at home then just moving anywhere that they can work effectively will do the job, e.g. go to a library or coffeeshop

I think most people that struggle with work from home aren’t suffering from a bad home environment, rather they require more hands-on management.
