WFH is a benefit when you and your boss don't care about the company and are just on the mindset of doing the minimum hours to get your salary, and your boss is just trying to cover his own ass. And would prefer to just get the money for doing nothing while sitting home. And care more about benefits than if the thing you're working on even ever ships.
It is sad such jobs exist, I would never work in such a job and think that HN readers as an average also would not prefer that over working on something worth their time.
When seeking for jobs I always prioritize for companies where most if not all work in-office after seeing how bad remote work can for wasting those hours of your life.
- phyzome 3y agoIf the alternative in this artificial dichotomy would be spending more than 40 hours per week to get my salary, I'll take the "WFH and do nothing" option that you're positing. Why on earth would I do extra work for free? However, that's not how this actually works. WFH and in-office and hybrid can all be do-nothing jobs or getting-stuff-done jobs. Depends on the coworkers, on management ability to set direction, and on the industry and product. They can all also be a waste of time or worth the time, again depending on what the company does.
