I get both sides of the argument - but I think it depends a lot on the type of work AND the individual. Some people are just self motivated and some look for the shadows whenever they can. Not a one size fits all subject to me.
I'm glad for those that it fits and they can make it work. Just not for me.

I have to travel to manufacturing sites to perform nearly all the work I do. I am a technical field service engineer in the industrial robotics industry. On rare occasion I can work from home, like the next two weeks working on an offline robotic programming project. Generally I am a road warrior and have been this year. I have been working a pre-Covid schedule, which is outstanding!!!
