It's the opposite actually. WFH is more efficient, but efficiency is not the reason why we work.
Every self respecting man needs friends and enemies. The more watered down a man's life is, the less intense the friendships and rivalries are going to be.
WFH is just the last step in a long process watering everything down, where the commoditification of every experience is making us dull and full of apathy.
The problem is that a disease like that becomes endemic in society, so people's beliefs become weaker and weaker, but not having strong beliefs closely correlates with people having next to no belief in themselves, which again closely correlates with WFH preference because people think they don't have what it takes to thrive in an office environment because they are scared of the strong sentiments of friendship, rivarly, love and revenge on the workplace and in life in general.
- potta_coffee 3y agoI don't know what you're on about. WFH saves me so much time and energy that I can commit a lot more to things that are way more interesting and fulfilling than work. Now I can hang out with people I care about, focus on my Jiu Jitsu and guitar playing and spend more time chipping away at my massive queue of unread books. Work is just something I have to do so I can feed and house my kids.

- danbolt 3y agoI’d really love to hear you describe more of this WFH desert devoid of fulfilment, and the living water of communal work. It’s kinda fascinating.
