"Total hours worked increased by roughly 30%, including a rise of 18% in working after normal business hours. Average output did not significantly change. Therefore, productivity fell by about 20%. "
- DeRock 5y agoExcludes commute time from work-from-office hours, which makes the comparison moot. I'd rather be unproductive at home, than unproductive in traffic. Also, this surveyed a single "large Asian IT services company". Its an anecdote with significant cultural work biases that may make this inapplicable to eg. American firms.
- kaskakokos 5y agoUnderstandable, in my case I commuted by bike in 20 min, I have changed 40 min of healthy biking for 2+ hours of extra work. And these are not cold numbers from an study, it is my reality and it can explain my bad mood of the last times.

- refactor_master 5y agoThat’s what I do. Now I can allow myself a 20-min ride in the middle of the day. Does incredibly things for clearing your thoughts.
