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 have the ability to work from home (and so several times each week) and will more than likely use it tomorrow through Friday when the big snow storm passes through. As long as I have internet service and our company server is up I have full access to everything I need.

That's a sweet deal. How long did it take for you to become comfortable working remotely? And how often do you have to come in to prove out programs, unless you have someone else do it for you onsite?

I've been programming on an offline seat for about 16 years so programming offsite is no different. I normally work in plant, but if we are sick (I was out for Covid for 2 weeks back in September and didn't miss any work) or have appointments we can work from home (or anyplace we have internet access to) as needed. If we are needed in the plant to fix something we (mill, wire, lathe programmers) are to make a strong effort to come in and keep the machines running. I have written programs in doctor offices, hospitals and even at McD's with no issues. Corp IT says we are as secure as needed pretty much where ever we need to work from.
