The move to remote work has made me both less productive and personally unhappy. I've mostly just been grateful that I still have a job and trying not to complain considering so many people have been laid off or have had to risk their health when going to work. But the idea of permanent long-term WFH is very unappealing.
- 0x0203 6y agoIt seems like the majority of people prefer working from home, and I understand why, but I still prefer having a dedicated place away from home to work. It seems to put me in a different frame of mind that is much harder to get to when I'm at home. I've found it much harder to actually work on hobby projects for some reason; since it's all done from the same place, it just feels a bit like work and motivation has certainly waned.
- dwaltrip 6y agoI could be wrong, but my impression is that a majority do want to go into the office at least some days per week.
- Yeroc 6y agoThat's definitely my perspective. I certainly like not having to commute (25 minute drive one way) but I would still like to get out of the house for the day 1-2 days per week. I'm introverted though and my commute is relatively easy. WFH is much more daunting for other personality types and situations.
- ryandrake 6y agoI think my ideal would be work-from-anywhere, plus travel to the office for maybe 5 days every month or two. It would be the perfect balance of in-person collaboration, AND allow me to live somewhere affordable.
