I have a friend I talk to daily for 5+ hours a day that works for a major UC school in California.

They can totally work from home and everyone kept passing the buck when pressed about this.

The other day the staff got pissed enough they got a answer.. Basically the IT staff is not all that great and the VPN doesn't work so they are having people come into the office while they know they should be working from home.

Heard the exact complaint from two friends in academia. Seems reasonable given my own stint in the university system. Not known for being anywhere near modern.
