    I question the ‘less productive’ part of his claim here

    If I commute (2 hours, one way) the time I can spend in the office is bounded by how early I have to leave in order to catch the last train home. Not only does that mean a 5-day week involves 20 uncompensated hours, it literally limits my time in the office to about 45 hours.

    Today, working remotely, I can bill 50 hours in the week and still see my kids. I get more done this way and they know it. If they want me in the office every day, they can pay me my hourly rate to commute

      Big companies also have big investments outside of employees… such as oil and property investments. They don’t want to hurt their other revenue streams.
