It does add separation from work and not-work. Take the headset off and you go from work to home without any commute.

- wonnage 5y agoIsn't this why everyone is burnt out from WFH? The desk is right there, you can sit down/strap in any time, and "leaving" work is mostly just a mental shift
- HanaShiratori 5y agoWhat? Since when does WFH burn everyone out? At least my perception is that people want to stick to it... I'm confused
- michaelt 5y agoIt's difficult to tell apart the effects of WFH from the effects of pandemic lockdowns. I know plenty of people who had a shitty time and ended up dealing with a lot of mental health issues.
- Ensorceled 5y agoMy wife is in HR at a large international tech company. The number of people that want to work remote 100% of the time has been steadily dropping for the past year. People mostly want flex time now ... 2-3 days in the office max, no Fridays ... but the do want to come into the office.
- Xevi 5y agoI absolutely do not want to return to our office at least. I save so much time and money by working from home that it's insane to even think about going back. Not to mention that I have a much better ergonomic setup at home, and I can take short breaks whenever I want without getting weird looks. The ability to just lay down for a minute is a blessing. I also eat much healthier when I'm at home. I'd be _fine_ with going to the office once every other week to just meet up, but not more than that.
- Ensorceled 5y agoYeah, there are definitely people that want to be full remote. My team is full remote, a friend's team has settled on meeting once a week for retros/sprint planning and a mid sprint catch up.
