>"It should be easy for the office to provide a vastly superior working environment to the home"
There are a number of reasons why this argument doesn't make any sense
-commutes are expensive, and time consuming.
-surveillance produces a worse working experience, but is a major goal of office design.
-A desk with a computer on it is 90% of the way towards a fully equipped office.
-Many modern offices are also built with recreation in mind, equipped with ping pong tables and other such nonsense.
-I have come to believe that the primary business rationale for having people "in the office", is that it makes it harder for you to look for other jobs, and that process means that employees get more expensive.
