Given someone who is ready and responsible to work remotely, which would you prefer, office based or remote based? I feel as though writing off remote work due to the performance of someone not able to work remotely is a bit unfair.

I am full time remote, and the hours per day I can work range between a couple of hours and a dozen. So long as the work is done and the clients are happy, that's what matters. The main thing is self-discipline, having the self-discipline to get the work done and to provide top quality work. You have the flexibility to choose your best working space, working hours, and working style, so go and produce your best work.

I prefer to work and interact with people face to face than work remotely. It is great that technology enabled us to work everywhere and have the flexibility to continue working outside the office but I feel alienated when I don't interact with people in a more human compatible way.
A big part of my interest in working remotely is how likely I am to find a replacement job. At this time, it is much easier to find a job if I am in person.
