> You do not have home problems that you will end up focusing on when you are there Not sure why this needs to be repeatedly brought up.. I mean it is called "home office" for a reason. If you don't have a real one, remote can suffer.. no surprise.

>Not sure why this needs to be repeatedly brought up Not sure why you think a home office is going to solve marital problems or other issues that going into an office and being around other people might allow you to not focus on. Aside from that then we can add inability to get a home office made to the list of things that can affect whether or not remote work is a good solution

  Cos definition of of "home office" for me is a place where I can work reasonably and with focus. Yes, even in "work office" that focus is not guaranteed, but even there martial problems or other issues will hit me. So yeah, still not sure why we need to bring this explicitly up again in discussion after discussion. You need a reasonable office to work, offices can suck - orthogonal to if home/remote/company. > add inability to get a home office made to the list of things that can affect whether or not remote work is a good solution Again, no-brainer, no home office no good solution? shrug

Probably because the reality of remote working was set by the pandemic, which forced a huge number of people to switch to remote work. Remote workers with a proper home office suddenly were, and I think continue to be, a minority.

FWIW, my wife takes our home office and I work from the main room or our screened in porch, but she often will work alongside me. It’s not really a problem. I’m much more productive working from home; my only qualms are that team cohesion and sense of shared mission seems lower than it has at in-person jobs I’ve had. That may not even be causal.
