They’ve been predicting the dominance of the “work-at-home” model for a long time. My question: is your office totally “paperless”? Because if it isn’t, or there is a need to refer to paper archival records, then there’s no real possibility of “remote work”. Then there’s the problem of worker productivity and the need to maintain it without seeming intrusive.
Working at home is fine for certain employees - those that work with little or no supervision. I don’t find most workers fit this description.
I can’t stand working remotely; most homes simply aren’t designed for it. I have no interest in converting my living space into unpaid office space for my employer.
...paper archival records...

We sold/closed on our property and are in process of purchasing another. Every document has so far been through Digi-Sign.
The first closing was held in the title company parking lot and recorded on cell phones. We did physically sign for transfer of title. Documents handed through a car window. Check was paper. Had to make a bank appointment for deposit, which was held with three of us in a large conference room while the rest of the bank was empty.
So, some paper involved, but it was minimal and distanced.
