Working from outside the office “simply isn’t as productive as office work, no matter what remote workers say. Too much evidence has piled up to credibly deny this any longer.”

the future of remote work: There is none. Work is not going to look much different than it’s ever looked. That’s because the remote work revolution just isn’t going to materialize.

Remote workers put in 3.5 hours less per day of work compared to in-person workers

So that tells you how much time is wasted by simply being AT the office

It all comes down to the employees. Training younger, new hires over Teams is a chore, and I know I've had a harder time building rapport with people I rarely meet in person.

That being said, I also see why wasting time driving in is kind of awful. I like a hybrid two days a week approach.

Because in-person workers definitely don't go hide out in the shitter for 20 minutes at a time

We never went back to the office full time after Covid. I guess that could change with a change of leadership but my boss is a big fan of the hybrid schedule. Probably because he's got a 40 mile commute

With the exception being IT, I can foresee "remote work" ending for a lot of folks.

I moved to a home office recently. So far I’ve found I’m as, or even more, productive. I still travel for business and come to the office for meetings from time time time. But if I have an “office day”, I’m working from home.

FWIW, I have an actual office set up in a spare bedroom at home.

My boss loves the hybrid schedule, as do I. But the COO wants everybody back in the office full time. It'll likely happen by the end of the year. I've grown to love the 2 days at home to break up the week. I will admit tho, I'm more productive in the office.

we've made RECORD profits the last two years and all they can think about is our corporate real estate around the world being underutilized

Option A - work from home. Get a little extra morning sleep. T-shirt and shorts. Get 5-6 hours of solid, undistracted work in, call it quits around 4 (12 on Fridays).

Option B - do the typical office thing. Stress out about dropping your kids off and making it to the office on time. Spend half your day yapping with coworkers about LSU or the weather. Make 45 posts on Tigerdroppings. Fight the afternoon commute.

I’ll take Option A, which is my current situation, even though my company has an office in the same town as where I live.

A) depends on how you define productivity. If it is metered by a clock only, then you aren't really measuring anything... other than time.

B) Supervisors have an adjustment to make. And there's a trade off for both employees and supervisors: Show your work, more deadlines- clearly defined, more "looking over your shoulder". The trade off: employee has to put up with that.

The commercial real estate lobby is getting desperate with these media hit pieces.

There’s a reason megafunds like Black Rock are investing in residential, not commercial.

I do not disagree at all. I had one employee turn in a work log showing that they answered a total of 4 emails.....For an 8 hour day.

A previous claim was that remote workers spent work time "shopping and having sex". To make up 3.5hrs, I'd be doing some serious shopping!

They figured this out really fast but they still haven’t figured out the relationship between a living wage and productivity.
