Now there are great exceptions. Many IT people are very productive outside of an office. No politics, no personal interaction that can be negative. Work in their jammimes.

That's me!

One was our EMS guy, who managed to do zero recordable work for SIX BLOODY MONTHS. I called him a few times, and there was always enough background noise that I knew he was out and about.

Unacceptable.

It was unacceptable. But is very common. Most people do not have the discipline to work remote.

If you are IT, then that is the big exception. Our current IT team does have an office (that is where the servers are), but do most of their work at home. Which is typically a few blocks from the office.
