The article fails to discuss WHO MEASURES the "productivity". Is it the company, or the worker?
Let's say you work 8 hours a day from home and you write 10 lines of code per hour. Your productivity is 100 lines of code / 8 hours.
But if you spend 8 hours in the office and 2 hours in the traffic that means you do 100 lines of code / 10 hours. From your perspective you are less productive (per hour) than when working from home.
But from the company's perspective your productivity is still 100 lines of code per 8 hours (which you now must spend in the office).
