As someone who had bell/chili pepper family triggered IBS for 6 years without knowing the cause. This 100%.

I'd chip in doing laundry or dishes whilst on a boring call I'm forced to attend. Just don't forget to mute the mike on the headset.

That's definitely a big upside. Things like dishes and laundry are great background tasks. Doesn't take long to set up, then a machine handles the rest, swap out the laundry and keep going. Barely interrupts my day job, and the impetus to get out of my chair is welcome anyway.

Personalized climate control; a useful (clean and fully equipped) kitchen, with private storage...

There are all kinds of features, with varying value to everyone and that people insist on ignoring.

Wow. I've seen so many self aggrandizing adult children making so many arguments that try to explain away why they still aren't happy because they have no ability to look in the mirror, leading to a need to justify themselves in some way (blog post, really?) to the world of why they need to work from home. None of the arguments make any real sense to me at all and at best seem like a personal choice prioritizing their ability to do other things while working over the quality of their work, never really fully focusing on their home life or their work.

.... until now

Can you clarify your comment - you're referring to everybody who wants to work from home as "self aggrandizing adult children"?

Yes.

The real adults are sitting in a box over there, where they were told to, doing their work quietly.

I can settle for a public bathroom, but surely we have the technology to construct walls without significant gaps. Spend the one-time extra investment so that I can pretend I have some privacy.

Especially considering that many people tend to get their BMs around the same time, after coffee or a meal.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time...Love to have someone else clean up the empty bathrooms at work every day or so; shame that job was almost two hours away for the 2 days a week I had to go.
