i will say that crunch from home is a lot easier to optimize and ultimately sustain than crunch-in-office.
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoAbsolutely. IME, far from being a barrier to productivity, WFH can make it harder to maintain a good work-life balance if you're not careful. For example, it's a lot easier for my colleagues in other timezones to justify pulling me into a 6am meeting if they know I can just roll out of bed to take the call. And I personally know people who've put in a lot more overtime because it's just so easy to keep on coding when you don't have a commute to bookend your day. Stir in this latent perception that people who work from home are lazy, and I could see WFH being more toxic for people who aren't careful or work for a company with a broken culture.
