SOME employees. Specifically, the non-ADHD-tending employees. The latter, by and large, thrive far better with in-person work.

  What's TRULY remarkable is how much BS you can spew if you don't back it with any evidence, dude. Fortunately, I have plenty. https://www.fastcompany.com/90924426/remote-work-challenges-adhd-helps https://www.fastcompany.com/90924426/remote-work-challenges-... https://adhdcollective.com/adhd-remote-work-solutions/ https://adhdcollective.com/adhd-remote-work-solutions/ 100% of these cons apply to me (although I think it was definitely worse when I had a less-important job, paradoxically) In short: 1) Lack of Structure: Remote work often lacks the external structure and routine provided by a traditional office setting. This absence of structure can be challenging for individuals with ADHD, who rely on routines to effectively manage their time and stay on track. 2) Potential for Distractions: While working from home can reduce certain distractions found in a traditional office environment, it can introduce new distractions such as household chores, family members, or personal interests. These distractions can make it difficult for individuals with ADHD to maintain focus and productivity. 3) Isolation: Remote work can lead to social isolation, which may negatively impact individuals with ADHD who thrive on interactions and external stimulation. The lack of face-to-face interactions and collaboration can affect work satisfaction and overall well-being.
