Is there a problem with working from home? Many people feel isolated if they work away every day. Great to wear your slippers at the computer. But many opt to work at the office more than they work at home. And Yahoo, for example, has decided it needs all employees where they can communicate face-to-face.
For myself, my greatest enjoyment in my workday is getting there
