With how common remote work is these days, I'm wondering if anyone has ever been able to obtain an offline seat and a company-supplied workstation to program from home? I'd imagine that a lot of trust and prestige would be needed to be able to do this.

I worked 90% remotely in 2020-21 on and off. I would crunch out multiple programs offline and visit the shop to proof them all out in a single day sometimes two. Opted to come back full time as working from home messed with me mentally... I need the daily toxic work environment. hahaha!
I worked on a robotic cell and, well, relying on a bulletproof offline environment was already needed along with only proofing like once a week due to 24/7 production it made it that much possible to work totally remotely.

That's awesome. How often were you asked to come in to troubleshoot programs that stopped working? I'd imagine that you would need a competent team that can troubleshoot programming issues for remote work to be feasible.
ALousyUser almost never.... took a lot of shame, blood, sweat, and tears to get there though so I'm not boasting in any way shape or form. Did I mentioned having a REALLY good offline environment, if so, that's key along with proofing new programs like you mean it! The group was small and no one touched the CMM but myself other than that it interfaced with the Robot to pick and place parts. I really only went in there to proof new programs and if I had to create new probe tips/angles along with running a huge probe qualification routine that knocked everything out like in 3hrs once a month or so depending on production load.
Kp61dude! that's awesome. I've got tons to learn before I can even consider working remotely, but your comments help me get a rough idea of what it takes to be able to work remotely as a CMM programmer with some success.
