>Also, when it came time for layoffs it was easier for them to let the people at home go. I think this is the biggest drawback. If you start at the company as a wfh person, or you transition to it and do it long enough, nobody in the office can put a face to your name. Outside of your immediate group, they don't know what you do. You're just a name on a chart. "Hey, look, without that box the chart is a little more balanced!" In every company I've worked where wfh was tried (starting about 15 years ago), the wfh people were always the first to go when there was layoffs.
