This. The disconnect from "having a real job" and working is spreading. The corporate sector seems to be rapidly declining in exactly this way.
In my most recent gig, having to be onsite was a huge drain on productivity. It really needed to be roughly 10% of my time. I stayed way ahead of my job mainly by doing stuff at home - just the moronic network filters alone meant I had ... 10x the bandwidth available.
But onsite was still required.
I have two kids around 30 or so; neither has an onsite corporate fulltime job.
