#2 Careful what you wish for. The telecommuting employee is ALWAYS at a severe disadvantage vis-a-vis his peers who are on-site.

He lacks proximity for hallway or break-room or behind-closed-doors conversations in which critical info is often shared quietly and discreetly, without risk of being recorded.

This will merely create two classes of employees, like Google's notorious FTEs vs "Red Badge" contractors who are full-time employees-in-all-but-name.

#3 teleworking employees get some advantages in return for not being noticed by the ruling class

for one, they are almost never tasked with chairing ad hoc junkwork projects that management comes up with

for another, they don't have to pretend to pay attention at diversity, multi gender identity training sessions and so on
