I click on the sources for the 10 and 20 percent... lol > 10% : ....But fully remote work can generate even larger cost reductions from space savings and global hiring > 20% : Total hours worked increased by roughly 30%, including a rise of 18% in working after normal business hours. Average output did not significantly change. Therefore, productivity fell by about 20%. For laughs one day I create a Real salary calculator that divides the hourly wage over the hours lost to employment per week. http://go-here.nl/real-salary-calculator.html http://go-here.nl/real-salary-calculator.html If you work 8 hours, have a 60 min lunch break and commute is just 2 X 30 minutes you are not productive 20% of the time. If the commute is 2x an hour you are not doing anything useful 27% of the time. Here in the Netherlands statistics would have you believe people are earning relatively big salaries but if half of it is absorbed by taxes, does it really count? In the US the salaries, from a dutch perspective, specially in tech, are huge! But if living expenses are even larger, does that really count? Companies might care about productivity or profits. (I doubt WFH is less profitable over the entire career) Governments should care about the environment and the infrastructure. Air and sound pollution. If white collar work makes up 60% more than half of the cars participating in rush hour shouldn't be there. That also is 5000 professionals who didn't need to die in traffic per year. I imagine the 240 bl it costs to build and maintain roads is for the most part to make rush hour "work"? Covid was also interesting, it is not like it is the only disease available. a 3rd of my coworkers is sick at home atm and the others are all coughing. I think it fair to include [say] the Tuberculosis lottery in the comparison.
