Re: Odd joke revived
EE here. A good part of my work is done in front of a computer screen, which can be anywhere. There comes a phase in the project, when I need to be at a lab bench, with all sorts of test equipment and a microscope for the inevitable board rework while debugging. For that phase, I'm happy to be in the office, using the equipment I need.
But, remember university? One received assignments, studied on one's own, completed papers, presentations, etc, an eventually received a degree. In person some of the time, but a good part of MY education was self-paced at a location of my choosing. I see no reason why work should not be viewed the same way -- go where the (physical) resources you need at the moment happen to be; if none are needed, then work where you're comfortable. It's not like we don't have videophones on all our desks now, is it?
