I gladly paid for them so I don't have to commute. Since going remote I could move to the countryside too. Bigger house, nicer environment, cheaper. My home office setup follows me if I switch jobs.

If you don't have the discipline to work when you are supposed to, that's a you problem.

Actually it's a company problem, that is precisely why this is one of the main reasons they are doing it and why it actually makes sense.

People always slacked off in the office. Probably a lot more than at home.

Based on experience. I worked in the office for many years.
