I was part of a group that was allowed the privilege of working from home two days a week for the last few years, big savings on gas for me plus 2+ hours commute time per day. A few months ago a few employees were discovered abusing the privilege; now no one telecommutes and we are unlikely to get the privilege back. It's all about trust and integrity.CRL
That totally sucks when an irresponsible few ruin a good thing for everyone. This type of thing is why it is important to document what you are accomplishing at home and getting that to your boss on a regular basis.
Telecommuting is definitely something that should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and not just as a blanket policy.
