To be honest, working from home should have been implemented 10yrs ago. Most companies complained that it would be a security issue because of confidential information. But let’s be serious, the biggest crooks are the CEOs and upper management. I never want to go back in the office because I like my freedom, I create my own schedule and the work still gets out. I don’t have to worry about office gossip, management telling me I spent an extra two minutes on break nor wearing business casual in the 100 degree Florida heat. I don’t miss an office environment!

More likely these credits will materialize on your income tax code. Big companies rather keep the money to themselves and throw a once a year lump sum productivity bonus at the worker.

Work From Home may be better for employees, but I don't think it will be profitable for employers & government. 1. For employers, if they want it to be profitable, they must first fire out all the middle level managers and sell their offices (becoz most offices work on rent.) 2. Work From Home requires a strong internet connection, which sometimes can keep fluctuating for some people. And the case where Google servers went down twice recently; it will affect all the business organizations in the world. 3. For government it will be a huge loss in taxes since people won't commute and moving away from cities, do shopping, using public transport, crude oil usage will come down. 4. Most people rely on the business of renting house to the employees working in companies. So it will affect their savings too. 5. Some employees having their children at home find it difficult to manage everything. So, in total, I don't think it will be possible for people to work from home. It will surely affect the economic growth of a country.

Work From Home requires a strong internet connection, which sometimes can keep fluctuating for some people. And the case where Google servers went down twice recently; it will affect all the business organizations in the world. 3. For government it will be a huge loss in taxes since people won't commute and moving away from cities, do shopping, using public transport, crude oil usage will come down. 4. Most people rely on the business of renting house to the employees working in companies. So it will affect their savings too. 5.

A year later, 80% sold their homes, moved back into the city. Computers get more and more sophisticated with every passing year and so a lot of these jobs will disappear, and then what? Also employers find hiring foreign workers is cheaper. That happened to one of my neighbors working from home, suddenly that was the end of her comfort zone job.
