People will be less happy though
- bwb 7y agoI don't think there is any evidence to that effect if anything the 2 or 3 big scientific surveys show the opposite effect, a slight increase in happiness.
- qnsi 7y agodidn't know that. Sorry for spreading misinformation, I heard a lot that remote workers are more lonely and thought that it means they are less happy
- helij 7y agoMaybe for single people. For us with spouses and kids it's never lonely.
- bwb 7y agoNo worries, here is some background too: https://www.businessinsider.com/study-says-remote-workers-are-happier-stay-in-jobs-longer-2019-9 https://www.businessinsider.com/study-says-remote-workers-ar... https://www.flexjobs.com/employer-blog/new-study-finds-remote-workers-happier-more-productive/ https://www.flexjobs.com/employer-blog/new-study-finds-remot...
- collyw 7y agoSurely that depends on the person. There is a lot more competition for remote work than regular jobs.
- JohnFen 7y agoI think it clearly does. Personally, if I'm working as part of a team, I'm much happier and substantially more productive if I'm working in the same physical space as the rest of the team. But I also know people who are exactly the opposite of me on that count.
