The article mentions the cost of commuting that is now saved by working from home, but fails to mention the new added cost of maintaining a workspace in your home. Prior to covid I would work from the couch on WFH days, but that's not sustainable for full time work. Now my wife and I have to have two permanent setups, and it's a challenge to make it all work.
If my industry goes mandatory WFH forever, I'll probably eventually have to think about a new industry.
- mLuby 6y agoI haven't heard anyone talk about "mandatory WFH forever" but lots of companies are talking about mandatory RTO forever. Time and money spent on commuting is mostly just lost. In contract, investing in a comfortable chair, good desk/computer workspace, and high-speed internet is still beneficial when you're not working.
