Probably it will come right after the day where companies and 
governments hire an adequate number of properly skilled and motivated 
people to get the job done during the 40 hour work week at the office.  
I'm happy to give the boss another four hours a day, but only if they 
are at my house after I have dinner with my family and put my wife and 
kids to bed right. 

Most managers are HAPPY to bend the rules about what goes home on a 
laptop if it means 20 hours a week extra work from a top employee. 

Sad but true.  Does your corporation have a data classification system 
that would flag customer personal data and make it obvious when it was 
leaving the building?  Most do not.
