Working From Home is a change, and it's not at all surprising most people want to avoid change.
It definitely involves learning new habits and skills as part of the adjustment, which does involve some effort and possibly pain on the part of employees.
So I'm sure most people aren't interested up front. That doesn't say much about what their preference would be after some time to adjust.
- dmode 6y agoThat may have been true in the past. But right now most people have gotten a very good taste of WFH, being 3 months in quarantine. And AFTER that experience, people are rejecting it. I am not surprised. I have been WFH for 3 months now and absolutely hate it.
- dudul 6y agoIt's repeated here and there kind of everywhere these days, but the correct statement is "most people have gotten a very good taste of transitioning to WFH over night, without time to prepare, in a global pandemic". This is not traditional WFH.
- TigeriusKirk 6y agoAs I said, it involves learning some new skills and new habits, and the adjustment period likely involves some pain from employees. Three months of a situation assumed to be temporary is not a sufficient adjustment period.
- andarleen 6y agoWondering how many of those rejecting it are sadly adults sharing a home with other adults, live in crammed rooms or just have empty lives. These are aspects to be taken into account - and wfh might give them the opportunity to live in better conditions and maybe move where they can finally live on their own and make actual friends.
