Working from home should be an option to have only when it is necessary. Like when your pipes break and you have to be there to meet the plumber.

Interesting you bring this up... At my company, at least for the IT dept, the rule is you will show up at the office... Period. Which is why it took me 40 minutes to drive 3 1/2 miles to work last Thursday, and nearly 2 hours to drive home, during the heavy snow in Kansas City.

However, with the 2nd heavy snow storm in less than a week, management agreed to let IT try working remotely, and so far it's worked pretty well.

But for our department, unless there are extenuating circumstances, we work at the office. Period.

That’s actually a very dangerous position for a company to take. Both legally and ethically.

If someone dies trying to get into work, or get home, under such circumstance (major blizzard) because the company mandates they do so, then the company can be held liable.
