Paranoia over laziness and subtle lying is the unspoken concern. Your bosses thinks you want to work from home so you can be logged in for longer hours but do less actual work. Most managers just don't understand the 'getting the project done on time' vs 'i want my x hours of work from you.' >:]I don't know why you would* want to work from home though, doing it part time seems find, but if you're completely outside of the 'social circle' in a work environment and have no interaction with your boss, hell if they don't even know you exist other than the occasional completed project from you... it's not a hard choice to just get rid of you over someone else if push comes to shove.Most people are only capable of thinking from their perspective, so I'm not surprised this is debated. But if you thought more objectively about the nature of social dynamics and the value of human interaction you would see it's actually a risk against you to work from home, at least when talking about an office job.I think the choice comes down to the nature of the job or work being done, it should not be a universal choice.
