I actually don’t care whether I’m more productive at home or in the office. I’m positive I’m more productive in the office but I won’t return either way. It makes no difference to me. My life is not about my employer extracting 100% of my productivity from me. I have a better quality of life working from home and I’m going to keep it.

  GP made a really good point and perhaps you also had something interesting to share from your experience. However, the snark distracts from the discussion and adds noise to GPs comment thread. I mean this without sarcasm, the 'Guidelines' at the bottom of the page and in particular the 'In Comments' section are really on point and worthwhile to read.

    I have read the guidelines. Could you tell me where it says “don’t make jokes”? The guidelines aren’t rules, they’re guidelines. Otherwise they would be called rules. You can’t break a guideline, to wit. I think you’re really overestimating how much my comment either adds or detracts from the conversation. But I can say it in a clearer way: I do not care one single iota about the investment companies have made in leasing buildings whatsoever. I do not care to be babysat at work and I leave places that choose such paths. I look down on people who want to have that either as an occupation or a career. I will be laughing the entire time the physical workplace burns because it’s comical. Have you ever read Candide by Voltaire?

Yes, this is an unjustly ignored point. The nigh-100% focus on which one is more productive is a blaring signal of how sick work culture is. At times we seem to simply accept that employers/managers are the dictators, and employees are the subjects, rather than that both are equal humans.

Tbh I don’t think I do more or less work than I did in office. The difference is now when I’m waiting for bureaucratic machines to move, I can at least do it in the comfort of my home. I’d be willing to go back into office for the right job, but history tells me they don’t even want to interview me anyway :)
