You *lead* a team of 18 developers spending 4 days a week at home? Pardon me, but you've *got* to be kidding.

How do you do performance reviews? How could you possibly keep everyone focused on the goal?

I've worked at home too, and am intimiately aware of the on-going interruptions, from kids, wives, and friends who know you work at home.

Hey bob, let's go to that new hot-spot for lunch? Aw shucks, let's take an extra 1/2 for lunch, you can make it up later.

There is no question that at home work is less stressful, but unless you work as an individual, and are paid on completion of agreed milestones, IMHO you're on paid holiday.

Just to make this thread turn into a total flame, I'd also wager that *at least* 1/3 of your team is slacking off badly. I'm sorry, it's human nature. Period.
