Good point. Lots of anti-WFH only know about "the office". Like you can't work without an office when a lot of the population don't.

- LoganDark 4y agoI think "working from home" is usually used to mean "working remotely" here, not literally "working from a residential house that you own". Though some offices are still used for remote work (i.e. software development), it's not exactly "working remotely" since you have to be present in the office. Farms wouldn't count as working remotely, since you're on the farm performing physical labor, even if it's at home. Software development in an office (or customer support in a call center) wouldn't count as working remotely, since you have to be in the office to perform that work (even if you use internet-connected devices to do so). But using your computer at home to do software development for a company, or having a phone at home to do customer service, etc. would be working remotely. IMHO it gets even more subjective around "software development from home wouldn't actually be remote if it's a startup that is based in your home, but it would still be working from home technically". But you get the idea.
