I’ve worked remote since 2019 and my wife since 2020, and this is without a doubt 100% accurate. Neither of us would ever give up the freedom of being able to do whatever we want when we don’t have actual work to do rather than sitting in an office and pretending to be busy due to overbearing managers. Not to mention no gas spent, and no annoying co workers!

[@TRUTHseeker-101]

And why do you not have work to last the whole work day?? Sounds like your employer is paying you to sit around… must be a govt job😒.

[@TheWolf92]

@@TRUTHseeker-101 I’m in sales. So after proposals are sent, leads have been followed up on, and all deals closed for the day. You have a lot of free time. So it is nice! My wife however has a govt job and she has probably 2-3x the amount of work to do on a daily basis than I do actually.

I am surprised that this is a thing… sounds like some changes need to be made if work is that efficient you get done early… I have always said we need a 4 day work week instead of 5. And by the looks of it we have more than enough hours in the day to accomplish what is needed to be done at work. 😆

[@QueenKaleGardener]

That was me today... 10am and then just had to look busy so I wasn't given someone else's work!

[@vicnighthorse]

I have worked remote since 1999. I find I get more done because people don't come over to my office and talk to me and I don't do that to them. Of course, I am batshit crazy now but that is just the price of progress.

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

I've figured that hybrid works best for me. Being alone at home for too long causes me to be unfocused, being around productive people helps with my own productivity.

[@pjp9383]

Agree that hybrid works best for me. Wherever I spend the most time seems to eventually become the unproductive place. So then I switch gears a little - home more instead of work, or office more than home. For major focused writing tasks, I have also been known to head to the coffee shop, but only occasionally, because otherwise, way too many snacks!

[@purpurina5663]

Same here. I live alone, so if I don’t go to the office I can spend days without really talking to anyone. I love the freedom, but TBH at home I tend to drift off or be sucked in domestic work. Like I felt I was doing dishes all day.

[@annnanomus1842]

This is the way

[@loisen]

I can’t stand staying at home alone. I need to have this work feeling to feel productive.

I just realised that there are actually people who finish all their assigned work within their workday. As a teacher I have not experienced this. It's go, go, go from the moment you walk in until the moment you walk out, and then it repeats when you get home. Weekends are great because you can work without having to teach at the same time.

[@trackee2024]

Same. I work for a tech company in data - I never finish my work for the day and always have more waiting for me in the morning. 🥴

[@jordanjenkins1671]

Work from home has been a life changer for me. While some team managers / companies are really cool with it, I know others just can't stand thinking about their office buildings sitting empty since they probably can't sell them away easily. Or they're old-fashioned micro-managers that don't trust people to get the work done.

[@jonathanbuckner4726]

I just started my first corporate job this summer and it's fully remote, and it is soooo 100% true....but you missed the part where you get kind of lonely sometimes just never leaving your house and don't see people anymore lol. I'm an introvert and even this gets to me after a while

[@madsprite0551]

I felt the same way during distance learning and I’m an introvert as well

[@jenniferloew5219]

[@AdeleiTeillana]

Hmm, you guys aren't hardcore introverts then. I absolutely love working from home and never get lonely. I get all the socialization I need from watching TV or KZbin. When COVID started and I heard from my friends that China had been shut down essentially (I lived there up until six months before COVID), I told people in the US that I was jealous of them. Then when it came to the US, I was ecstatic that I had an excuse to never socialize or go anywhere. I definitely am sad and sorry for all the lives that were lost during the pandemic, but I have absolutely loved the guilt-free stay-at-home-with-zero-human-contact for months. Every time the States started easing restrictions, I got sad. I wish we could be in a constant state of lockdown. I know that wouldn't work for most people, but I love it.

[@patriciaa4451]

Going from an open plan office to work from home is amazing. I spend time with my hyper energetic cat, on cold days I can work in bed & when I'm feeling lazy I can zone out for hours. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's an introvert's dream.

[@andreahaley8533]

Been fully remote for 6 years and this is super accurate. I don't miss the office at all. I love waking up at 7:57, watching Ghostrunners pods and Jean Shorts videos during the day, and not having to commute. Life is good at home!

[@lonelyjokers4]

In my most recent days, I’ve learned that the best part about working remote is that it enables me to grab my hotspot and travel upstate with my mom for her chemotherapy. I can work in the room with her and I don’t have to take time off!! Edit: thank you for the well wishes everyone!! 💟

I’ve read about companies whose employees were much productive working from home during the pandemic who insisted those people come back to the office. Why would you do that? Oh, yeah, micromanaging…thinking people are enjoying themselves too much. I mean, seriously, if the work doesn’t absolutely have to been completed between 8 and 5 what does it matter as long as it gets done? I’m a mental health therapist and I could do all therapy appointments virtually now if I wanted, any hours. I mean, I don’t keep a “normal” 8-5 schedule now. Heck no! I am NOT a morning person. I have appointments between 10 am and 7 pm. It allows more people access to therapy. Win, win.
