I work from home because the company doesn't have an office in Calgary (and I'm not willing to move) but I would probably go in for 5-6 hours a few days a week if given the chance. I like riding my bike downtown and working together on one computer.

I genuinely believe that most middle managers have no idea what they're supposed to be doing in their job, which is the company's fault, and they self-justify their own jobs by supervising people like a prison guard. Good managers are coaches who maximize what their team can do and bad managers are supervisors who check work. My remote manager is fantastic. He has probably tripled my productive output compared with my previous in-office manager at another company.
