I never minded working in an office - I liked being around other people and enoyed the interactions and kicking around ideas.  But, after fighting the day to day traffic in DC, I would not have minded the option of working from home either.  

I just keep wondering how all these people plan to support themselves when they quit their job.  Right now some employers are still okay with working from home but I don't see that continuing forever. 

Conceptually, I get the idea that people want to be treated respectfully, but sometimes getting kicked in the butt can be a motivator too, especially when you are young and need to be reminded that you don't know everything.  

I guess this all goes along with the current liberal concept of the social safety net and social welfare.  If I am unhappy with my job, instead of looking for another one while working the job I dislike, then I just quit and someone else supports me while I find one that makes me happy.  

LOL, I remember a conversation with a military colleague.  I was complaining about work and he looked over and said "you are like my wife.  You think it is supposed to be all happy and fun.  Why do you think they call it work?" And we both laughed, because he was right.
