Family doesn’t seem to agree on what a good working environment is.

So I was having dinner with my family when the topic of where everyone would want to work if they could choose. I said I would want to work from home as it wouldn’t be mentally straining on me having to worry about travel. They said that’s a stupid mentality as I should be in the office working in a cubical to show I’m being a good worker. I’m just so confused, are older generations good with being stuck in cramped spaces? Is this a bad mentality to have?
