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

But it's only 20 minutes. There is a ceiling to fricking off at the office for the most part. At home, no supervision

Doubt it.

They're simply AT WORK for less time, but I guarantee you the same amount of work gets done in more cases than not. When I'm not at home, I want to be at home. When I work from home, I simply get my shite done and go on about my day.

Good luck hiring people. The cat is out of the bag. The only people who will be willing to go back into the office are the weirdos who actually like it because they can't stand being alone and the people with no choice.

High performers will peace out and get a different job from home.

20 minutes on the shitter, 10-15 in the break room at the coffee machine, 10-15 hanging out at another coworker's desk bullshitting, etc. And this happens multiple times per day.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who abuse working from home and spend half their day at the store and whatnot, but I personally have not noticed much of a change in how much work I get done in a given day.

Yeah this isn't really true either. If my mouse is idle for more than 10 minutes, my status changes to being away from the computer. I'm pretty sure this gets tracked and is brought up to people who's production and performance starts noticeably slipping.

Unless you're micromanaging all your employees, you have no idea how hard they're actually working at their desk. Service industry is different than office work of course.

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

If you provide goals that are measurable, agree to reasonable timelines and hold people accountable to their results where they perform the work is meaningless.

I suspect a big pivot point on remote work has to do with introverts vs extroverts, whether the boss likes or is required to be in the office themselves and frankly the degree to which the boss has a personal “need” to see the actual work being performed in order to feel ok about their team.

That is exactly what it is.

I get my work done at home in the same amount of time it took in the office.

Want me to do more work, give me more work. Otherwise, I'm going to go for a run and monitor my e-mail while running.
