  If commercial property developers could hurry up and go bust we could be done with this sooner.

  Productivity skyrocketed when we implemented work from home. Employee retention also improved. Keeping it was a no brainer.

  How else will they justify spending money on these huge office buildings (monuments to capitalists) to their investors if you aren’t there pretending to be busy?

  I feel like the only people who read Forbes and take it at face value have never worked a day in their lives.

  I find this really hard to believe. I like going in to work, but I don’t work in a standard office (engineer on industrial site). If I were to be working in an office all day though, no way would I prefer that to home.

  Funny that I’ve seen tons of research saying the opposite. Enough to say, at a minimum, that the verdict is still very much out on the link between productivity and remote work. But I only see the negative ones being published now, whereas during COVID I only saw the positive ones.

  Do these folks factor in people who have to waste 1 hour in commuting to and from the office? Or do they pay for that as well?

  Hot take: they might be right that going back to the office makes folks more productive, but the quiet quitting phenomenon could be counteracting that effect

    It’s a net loss in productivity of the company, then. Unless having less people to pay to offsets that the other way, which I sincerely doubt

  In my personal experience. No it does not reduce productivity.

  The whole "working from home reduces productivity" is non-sense simply because companies can simply put poor performers on a performance improvement plan and if they don't improve then fire them. But they're not doing that in droves, so therefore, it's just not true.

  But people are definitely less productive working from home

  How so? I personally think it's a very personal matter. I am far more productive working from home, mostly because I don't get distracted by colleagues who spend hours bantering only to then stay in the company until later to compensate for the banter - I'd rather get my work done so I can end my day on time and go home do the fun stuff. But I do have colleagues who say they get distracted easily when working at home and they'd rather work at the office.

  Overall though, my company used to be very against working from home, but after the period of mandatory work from home, management admitted overall productivity had increased. They still insist people should come to the office every now and then to maintain the "friendly" environment the company is supposed to have, though, which is fair I guess.
