In 2009 when I working for DISA ( I was military but everyone else was
a civilian) they already had a program in place where everyone worked
a 4 day week and a 5 day week every pay period.  The 5 day wee inluded
one Work-From-Home day so that people only worked from the office four
days any week.  They wre in the process of developing a program that
would involve more work from home days and hot-swap desks shared by
more than one employee with only one ever being present on any given
day.

It is being done.  And I would expect that businesses where saving
money is much more meaningful are looking at it even more.
