Total BS and naive. Apple is a prime example of why people can't get much done, and what they do is inferior, when working from home. With all the distractions from SO, kids, pets, neighbors, radio, TV, hot-tub, swimming pool, et cetera, they have shown they can't get quality work done. Every OS from Apple now blows chunks because of the crappy job they have done from home, as well as from bad management. The Apple employees had their chance to prove they could work from home and turn out high quality work in quantity, but they failed. They failed in a major way. They embarrassed themselves they failed so bad! They have no case to make for staying at home. I say let them stay home WITHOUT pay, otherwise get their butts back to the office.
