Some people get more motivated when being around others, these are the type that come in even if allowed to work remotely. Others are more productive when home, able to better focus, these are the type that never come in if avoidable. Obviously these are the extremes, most people I've met fall somewhere in between. Notice how slacking off doesn't really come into the picture? That's because there are thousands of ways to avoid working, and thousands of ways to make sure work gets done. Doesn't really matter where you are physically, at least not for creative and autonomous roles like engineering.
