OTOH, those who work at home and are self-employed can do as they like, since they are self-employed.

I WFH two scheduled days per week and other days as needed as well as traveling from four to eight days in any given two-week period.
I prefer to work in the office but since the company moved and my commute more than doubled I WFH mostly to save a few bucks. Now, you may ask, is why would I prefer to go to the office? Simple, there is no adult supervision in the office. If my plan of the day is to goof off, the office is the place. At home I really have to be disciplined and work hard and I have very definite goals for the day. If it's just one of those days I don't feel like working hard, I go in to the office. The people who think that others are only productive in an office environment are woefully off-target. Nobody watches me in the office.
