Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”

  If I was working again I’d rather work at the office. I wouldn’t be productive working at home. I need accountability. Not everyone likes working from home

    That’s fine if it’s your choice, but there are a number of various reasons working from home may be better for other people.

    I had the same assumption about myself before 2020. Turns out I’m way less distracted at home because I control the things that would distract me. So I’m much more productive. Was actually a huge surprise to me.

      that is true, my 2 bros are in tech and they are usually are at thier desks at all times anyways. remotely in public is probably to distracting. its the reverse if your studying a subject though, like as a student. home is too distracting, even writing resumes and cover letters too.

    Why do you even care? You don’t get paid more if you are productive.

      I don’t get this mentality but ok.

  But then how will they make money renting out the office space?

  I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at “work” when your workplace is also your home. Now I am back in the office and actually prefer it that way. I have the flexibility to work from home on weekends or when I need to be home for some reason, which is good enough for me.

    If you’re working at home on weekends, it doesn’t sound like you’re leaving work at work.

      I work in an industry that doesn’t sleep, that doesn’t mean I’m putting in more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis. But we need someone to be on-call over the weekends in case there is an emergency. And when I do, my boss lets us take additional time off later in the week to make up for it. You guys are making crazy assumptions based off nothing.

    You are just a rare exception. Don’t push it on the rest of us

      I’m just pointing out that not everyone thrives in a WFH environment and I think it shouldn’t be a controversial take to admit that.

    That sounds like a “you” problem. I just hit the shutdown button on my laptop at 17:00 and close the lid, and boom I’ve left work and magically instantaneously transported to my home.

    the flexibility to work from home on weekends

    Work … on … weekends?

    I think your problem is that you’re a workaholic.

      Its not a uniquely “me” problem, I’ve talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I’m not talking about putting in extra time when I’m not supposed to be at work. I’m just talking about how it “feels” to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I’m sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don’t really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.

      Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.

    Simple solution is to have a designated home office work space, and work only there.

    • bobaworld@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That works great if you have the space to do so. I live in a very small home by myself and I really don’t have that kind of space around.

  The only advantage to me being in the office is that I get free access to the gym.

  • insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Whereas I have a home gym I invested in over 10 years ago, so wfh means I go to the gym during the day instead of at night.

  Personally I take my time in the office and really hustle remotely. Want to make sure the metrics show its better for me to be home. Honestly though I would love to have an office I could walk to.
