I personally don't like working at home. I like personal interaction with my co-workers and feeling like I'm a part of something.

And let's be clear, the "work at home" option is being forced on the employees, as is the pay cut. This is anything but a pro-employee move.
I think you took my comments a little out of context. I'm in full agreement with your view on the employees. I'm saying they had a chance to do this the right way, but instead they took the low road and cut pay as part of the move. It's a bad move that will cause them to lose good people. If that wasn't clear in my post, I appreciate the opportunity to fix it.

I suspect if we took a poll in this forum it would be pretty evenly split on whether people like working from home or not. And I think it depends on the job. I love it, but it's not for everyone.
