Unfortunately, most management these days, are old fashion minded and not ready for remote administration of personnel, so not just the employees are at fault when remote work doesn't play well for them; managers are not able to, or don't know how to manage by goals and remote assets. Most of the time it is related to poor administrative skills and organization to measure goals/tasks. Personally it is the complete opposite for me, I get distracted by uninvited bypassers that want their stuff done NOW, ambient chat or noise, and many other environmental factors. Again, poor organizational rules in place. I get more focused on my own space, with my own equipment (company stuff is bare minimum), and with my own ambient set for my tasks, and like that I also don't distract others. Each case is different I guess.
