Three major changes in the way we work was the “open office space”, the “activity based desk” and now the “work from home”.
The first two had major negative impact on productivity and were hated by the workers. WFH had no conclusive impact on productivity, up or down, and were generally loved by workers.
There is the belief in management that if a worker is having fun, they are not productive and vice versa. In reality workers find themselves in the twilight between the two: neither having fun nor being productive.

Guess which one they’re getting rid of.
