A few other advantages of working remotely, at least in my view:

- less office politics

- no forced socialization, sorry but I have absolutely no interest in your private life while I'm working, I want to get work done and be done at 5, not pretend to be a busy body for the sake of it while having chats all throughout the day

- re. saving money, tax breaks are also a good incentive

- less personal but in my view as important: road decongestion/less pollution/etc.

As the author notes however, working remotely is not for everybody. Routine and self-discipline are extremely important, and a lot of people can't do that without being on site.

Agree so hard about forced socialization. My work life and my social life should be two very separate things.
