    Anybody with a job that isn’t in a warehouse will tell you productivity went up with work from home, not down. Fuck the media for always sleeping through reality.

      Not to mention, you aren’t as aware of down time when you’re there in person. You’re at the office, so most tasks you do still feel like work. If you’re a knowledge worker you might spend 4 hours getting actual work done, and you can see that way more easily at home. I think that’s why people have been more productive, because they think they’re falling behind when they really aren’t.

      Plus, being in a familiar environment and not needing to wake up early for commutes is massive.

      Also didn’t help teachers at all. But ya, for all office workers who aren’t social and especially for those of us who had a long commute, wfh was a godsend.
