[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well some of us can't take the work home as that is not a a place to keep sensitive information or send it over email. 
I do agree with the OP that so much can be moved to a deliverable and product concept instead of face time. Unfortunately you need really good managers to structure that and be secure in letting their employees accomplish tasks without micromanaging. 
[b]On the other hand, I do enjoy the flexibility of going to a colleagues office and discussing a challenge and drawing on the whiteboard, easier than email for me but that may be the type of industry I'm in. [/quote][/b]

I agree with OP on some level.  My job has peaks and valleys and depends very much on the marketplace.  There are some weeks where I have barely 20 hours of work but still need to be in the office (which is why I'm able to post this right now) and other weeks where I take work home every night to do after the kids are asleep.  But the bolded above is my office.  I am productive when I work from home, but there are a lot of times where my team learns so much more by physically being in the same place and being able to discuss things that come up that would be more difficult to do over email, IM or phone. I have learned so much that way and I think it's really helpful for my department to be able to do. [/quote]
