Depends on how flexible the office is. My office is allowing people to do so right now but wants advance notice. They said they wouldn't be policing people's freedom to work from home where they want to.

No.. at Accenture at least, that’s what we were told on our Town Hall

Yes

Technically hasn’t this always been the case? Sure you can live wherever, but you’ll still be expected into your home office for any all call meetings and you’ll be bearing the cost of that travel to the office, no reimbursement.
