Putting aside whether or not it actually makes you more productive, that sounds awful to me. Part of the reason I work from home is so that I don't have to constantly interact with my peers, and can put my head down and concentrate on my work without having my train of thought constantly broken. I have no problem with pair programming as needed, but I would never work at a company that forced it all day. To each their own, though.
