Only people who work in the relatively few jobs that cam be done from home believe most jobs can be done from home. Y’all are in a white collar bubble.
If it was possible for 70% of the country to work from home when it was suddenly needed, and even now 30-40% still do with a booming market economy, the only bubble appears to be the one the media is creating around your ears with the dollars their corporate overlords are paying them.
You’re right and that pisses me off. I didn’t realize how many jobs like that there are. Most recent data I can find says at least a third of all jobs can be done from home.
Fuck you lucky fucks. 0% of my industry can be done from home. I hate all of you.
Seriously this only works for like white collar office work and even then not really. Anyone working with inventory or warehouse and all the jobs that are food service and other onsite management go where?
They don’t want to admit it but it really does not work for more than a specific group of office jobs.
I looked into it and there’s a LOT more of those useless office jobs than I thought. Something like at least a third of all jobs can be done fully remote. I’m jealous as fuck.
I would be jealous, if sitting at a desk didn’t make me wanna hang myself with an ethernet cable. I’m a process engineer in a steel mill and holy sweet fuck did I wanna die when I was WFH as a desk engineer. Bored out of my mind and feeling like I’ll never progress because I couldn’t even network well with managers/engineers like you can in a mill/in person office.
That’s when I learned at this point in my career, heavily WFH is not for me. I need challenged and I need hands on, 1 of those I very much cannot get at home

What bubble?
During COVID-19 close to 70% of full-time workers are working from home.
The share of all work performed at home rose from 4.7 percent in January 2019 to 61 percent in May 2020
Even if we account for the pandemic “changing” reality, there is still a current report that says near 40% can work remotely.
The majority of U.S. workers overall (61%) do not have jobs that can be done from home.
