&quot;It&#x27;s good for both the workers and employers&quot;<p>It&#x27;s good for_some_ workers. I find the increased housing costs to accommodate an additional office a net drain. The lack of work&#x2F;life separation does nothing good for my stress.<p>As for nothing happening during lunch: my cohorts frequently grab a bite and pair on non-critical, but job enhancing, functionality. This type of interaction with others in the same problem space doesn&#x27;t happen when you&#x27;re lone wolfing it at home.<p>Work from home is great for some but it&#x27;s not everyone&#x27;s answer.
