No commute. No boss. Working from home is more of a technicality as you can work from anywhere in the world, including the Philippines or Ecuador and pocket the difference in rent.

I have been working at home off and on since 1983. It has been steady since Sept 2014. Prior to that date, I had an engagement that required being in a "closed" space. The "office" environment comes with endless distractions. Loud phone conversations and in-person yammering. I was part of the study group for the first "Peopleware" book by Larry Constantine. Every time you get interrupted, it takes 15 to 20 minutes to return to the focused "flow" state where you are most productive. An interruption every 15 minutes destroys productivity. The office environment is the epitome of continuous interruptions.

In the scenario you describe, you are still working in the same place where you sleep.

Ant it has become common in many jobs for the people working ‘in the office’ to not be working with anyone in the same building. Work teams including portions in India or South America, or both, and team members across the country, but getting temporary desks (unassigned, and changing day to day) in the office they are assigned to.

Legally, unless specified in the contract, you can’t work in other countries - or in most cases, in other states.
