Regarding productivity when working from home and the amount of work:
People who have self-discipline are far more productive at home. The reason that they can do 5 days of work in 3 days when working from home is because they don't have to waste time getting up early so they can do a 2hr commute (that means 3ish hours less sleep) that costs significant money, they don't have to listen to 'Tom' telling 'Mike' about his weekend or evening loud enough to be distracting, they don't have to attend a stupid amount of meetings that serve no purpose other than for management to look 'busy' - meetings should only happen where there is a true need and the only people required should be those who are directly needed/affected.
Nor do they need to sit in a depressing work cubicle in a completely uncomfortable chair and environment (usually too hot because 'feminazis').
Also, many people have their reference materials (the good ones) always at home as they don't want them damaged, stolen or otherwise unavailable by having them in the workplace - companies commonly don't get the good reference books/materials and when sacking people those books/materials are rarely, if ever packed up as the belongings of the fired employee because they know there's SFA that the fired employee can do about getting their books back.
Plus, being more rested by not having to waste time getting up early and commuting, having less stress about paying bills (the actual paying of them as many can't be done online), and having a far better and more comfortable work environment, people are actually more productive, more relaxed and are actually getting more work done and as a result, earning more.
