This study matches what I've heard from other companies, for what it's worth.
About a month ago I discussed productivity with someone at one of the large financial companies. They do pretty heavy tracking of employee productivity and noted a pretty significant decrease since everyone's gone WFH.
I don't think it's some other factor that caused this decrease for the company in the study. I'm pretty sure it's consistent across the board.
I voiced this a month or two ago in another thread about WFH, and warned people not to go off of anecdotal productivity claims (which is mostly where I've been seeing the "working from home is significantly better for everything") and got downvoted in to oblivion.

- osigurdson 5y agoIf a company seriously believes that developer productivity can be accurately tracked, why not directly tie compensation to it? It really shouldn't matter at all where work happens in this case. On the other hand, if they only believe that productivity can only be accurately measured in secret then the "trackers" have some explaining to do in terms of the actual value they are adding to the organization.
