This article grossly exaggerates the study that it cites. The Stanford study of 16,000 people showing increased productivity for those WFH studies a unique population of:
1) Call center workers
2) Who volunteered to work from home
Are you a call center worker who wants to work from home? Great, this study is pretty good evidence that on average you will be more productive.
Otherwise, take it for what it is. The data here may or may not apply to you, but it's a big stretch to make the bold general claim that this study proves that "remote workers are more productive than employees who work in the office," as this article suggests.
