Easy for me to WFH as I have no distractions. I work at one of those large companies that implemented the "open office" design a few years ago and its very distracting, lots of noise and its hard to focus.

Personally I think it's harder for me to work from home, too many distractions. Obviously a coworking space fixes this, but then companies have to pay for those as well. I'm also wary of companies using WFA options as "perks" to pay employees less: "We have a cool, work-from-home culture! Come work with us from your own couch! Save on gas, daycare, and time. Starting wage $15/hr." I'm not saying that to discount the good-intent from some employers that are actually trying to offer flexible work structures to their employees, all the more power to those employers, and good work.

This should not just mean working from home. Maybe companies could become distributed. Like entire teams getting space from where they like instead of sitting at corporate campus.

Team working with large client? Why not get short term office close by.
