Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this.
Now after a bunch of companies want their remote workers back at the office, every one of those companies are being almost propaganda machines which do not cite sound scientific studies but cite each other and interviews with higher ups in top companies that “remote workers are less productive”. This is further cementing the general public’s opinion on this matter.
And research that shows the opposite is buried deep within any search results.
Have you noticed this? Please share what you have observed. I’m going paranoid about this.
I haven’t been much more than a 20 minute commute from the office for the last decade or so. And it’s an easy stress free commute into town too. Pretty fortunate in that regard. I’m a cpa so our busy seasons suck and I don’t have much free time, problem solved, heh… When you WFH I just lay awake in bed eyes wide open worrying about the work I could be doing instead of worrying about it. It’s nice to be able to leave work at work after a long day during peak season.
PS: i’m acutely aware that it would probably be healthier for me to find a different career than to return to office 🤣
