Yes. The alternative is absurd. Should it be mandatory for everybody to work shifts just because some people have to work shifts?

I’ve never met a factory worker who resents the existence of cushy WFH jobs. On the contrary, many aspire to have such a job.

There are also many people in non-desk jobs who could never imagine doing one. The recent example I have in mind are the woodland firefighters described by Desmond. It's hard, grueling, dirty, long work, but for many of them, it beats sitting still stuck at home attempting to look busy for some guy in a suit.
