This assumes that work expectations won’t expand to fill the space. I’ve kept pretty strict 9am to 6pm work from home with a 1 hour offline break to eat and clean and I still find the expectations creeping in, especially since some coworkers have migrated to other time zones to be with family. Overall, given the history of labor in the US, I am sceptical that we will see an opening up of free time because of this shift.
