And working at home and from an office is not comparable in any way, shape or form.
I couldn't disagree with you more.

I work for a company that is based out of Europe, but has a huge affiliate base here in the US. Our office in the UK can't help much because by the time people in California are coming on line, people in the UK are going offline and going home. We have three offices in Europe, yet we still have other people in Germany, Italy, Japan, and of course the US. We plan on moving into South America shortly, and we will be sure to hire someone local there too - It just makes sense.

Working from home is much more productive too. I start work earlier, take a shorter lunches, less breaks, have no co-workers to bother me, and can work later. If three is an emergency or a big project, I don't have to "drive" back to the office... Weekends too - I can work weekends without leaving home.

It's perfect.
