When you could work anywhere with an internet connection and yet your company frowns upon it. Only to later ask my boss a question, who sits 50 feet away, and have him tell me to use Screenhero...tell my again why I have to be in the office?!

It may just be the culture of your company. I am surprised more companies have not embraced work from home at the point.

I left the company that had that policy. They had all the wrong reasons for not letting devs remote:
1) lack of trust
2) they spent $$ on office space
3) thought only face to face fostered idea exchange
4) they were too lazy to sum up their questions on paper rather than spout half baked ideas to devs

But basically was lack of trust that the dev would do anything.

My advice: find a new job
