That all makes perfect sense, and I think you're spot on.

There's another factor I've noticed, too. Like I said, I'm a manager. Honestly, when I'm home, I get more done because there's fewer interruptions. But many of those interruptions are employees popping in to talk to me. Sometimes they just want to say hi or whatever, but not infrequently it starts with "Hey, there's something I wanted to talk with you about..." and they tell me about some issue or something going on. They could email/message/call me about those things, but often they just don't.

So I think my job as a manager is more effective when we can talk face to face. I go into the office three days a week.
