So externalising office costs onto the workers - lovely
You might want to think about how this effects the housing market if this take off long term.

Every home of the future would/should have an office, with the kitchen evolving into a general in-house factory with 3D printers etc. :)
This would have the added benefit of reclaiming the space currently taken up by many office towers, reducing traffic and the associated stress from daily commutes, improving overall health, increasing leisure time, which in turn improves the economy, and so on.
So an extra room per home then is going to increase housing costs longer term to the worker long term is what I was getting at.
Why is this companies' faults? What can they really do anwyays besides giving a small budget to situate oneself?
All homes - should - begin to have offices anyway as people realize that physically going in to work isn't necessary to be productive.
If remote work became a norm, I'd expect housing market in large cities to sink dramatically. Why would one move e.g. to New York if their hometown provided same same job opportunities?
Why do you need an extra room?
Laptops can go anywhere, and my living room is empty until ~4pm when my kids get home. I've been remote for going on 5 years now and routinely take my work laptop to the kitchen or living room (though I'll concede I need a quiet room for some calls/tasks that involve PII).
