This is my experience of British management over the last quarter of a century. I am an expensive contract resource but I still get paid for turning up and not so much for providing working software.
When I am working remotely, due to the organisation's inability to measure productivity, fostered by their management's "bums on seats" culture, I can't demonstrate that remote work is a benefit to them.
Ditto in India. Though economic realities are forcing companies to give at least one work from home day per month. It is estimated that companies are losing close to $20B in traffic related stress.
