I'd guess it looks under-appreciated on the surface, because it is hard to run a business on such a premise. Admitting it "officially" ultimately boils down to retaining by all means the engineers who already acquired the kno

But aren't some choices, while arguably no more safe, more ethical than others? If you know that your action will bring certain death to some category of people, shouldn't you choose to refrain from doing it? The OP, dated Apr 4t

Of course you don't have to. But, to be honest, waking-up at 7am spells "no commute" to me.

Because when one works from home, there is no need to allot time for commute. People with short commute times (==> no need to adjust sleeping schedule), are much keener to go work from the office.

Remote work is a skill, it takes time to acquire, just like office work and barely less. (Have you forgotten how hard it was to stay put for 8+ hours in the same place? I still remember.) My personal estimations -- it takes 18 month to work
