I dislike that you’re being downvoted, downvoting is not a disagree button. There’s a lot of studies that show that productivity is better at home for some individuals, I don’t think there has been a proper meta-study because there’s studies that prove whatever you want to believe right now. Even without citing any study, it does feel organic that it depends entirely on your job, your level of autonomy, your existing relationship to your colleagues and manager, the level of trust and ultimately your home situation. Having 3 kids running around most of the day in a 2bedroom apartment is not going to be as productive as sitting in an air conditioned office that has good physical and auditory privacy. However, it’s also true that management has been basically cutting costs extremely in terms of office space for decades, you don’t even get enough personal space or privacy for a cubicle now: let alone a door you could close. Erosion of the quality of the office over this period of time has created a pretty large gulf to cross. I would argue that most people have better working conditions at home than the torrid open office that we’ve been subjected to.
