Also, slightly off topic, but for similar reasons I can't figure out why bosses want IT workers that mostly sit at their desk on a computer to work at the office (instead of remote locations) for a full 40+ a week. It's like there is distrusting management who thinks if they didn't walk the hallways once per week at random and see people staring at their computers then the same work wouldn't happen. Let these people work alot more wherever they want if their work isn't location dependent.
