IE they don't know what the amount of work is done in one vs another.

Or they do, and its not favorable for those at home.

I've always been 100% in-office, though I do have the ability to situational wfh once in a while. This was always

For every unproductive remote worker there’s an incompetent manager.

I think you’d find managers have a hard time managing WFH if they

If it's hard to document, then that may be a management failure.

If you can’t measure productivity, then it’s probably not a good fit for WFH.

rivercitycoug

Agreed but I’ve seen it conflated and confused on what to measure

They do a load of laundry? The horror!

Laundry is for suckers

If you’re based on completing a job hours don’t matter. If you’re salaried

Do they compare to normal office workers? I waste time in office too lol

So what? If they get the work done it should t matter. I have seen more online

Don't people do some of those things while at work as well. During lunch, on

Same. I am also available more hours of the day.

When I worked remotely I was given so much work to do...

PortlandCoug

10:25am

Ha, as opposed to what? Do people think workers in an office are doing 8+ straight hours of work?

TNT was checking out chicks when he was at Burgers! Burgers! Burgers!

Exactly. Every time I go in the office, I’m amazed at how much time is wasted

How many unnecessary office meetings are avoided by working from home?

They're just all on Teams now. More than ever because it's so easy.

Employees will fill the vacuum left by lack of accountability. Productivity

I know sales guys that take 2-3 hour lunch breaks but are in office

1984coug

10:28am

how many hours a week are they on the clock?

supertux

10:29am

most are salary + commission... so they are at the office for a standard day

1984coug

One of the biggest advantages of having WFH employees is the ability to hire from a nationwide pool.

Sea Chicken

I’ll bet 4 hours at home is more productive than 8 hours at the office.

The silly thing is people in office waste just as much time pretending to work

How is this an upsetting thing?

justAnotherCoug

LOL, we all know the answer. That’s why remote workers don’t want to go in

TeeKaa

I am demonstratively more productive working from home.

YSMACK

10:48am

OK. While you may be more productive, MOST worker-bees are not

TeeKaa

10:55am

Fair. You have to have a certain type of person and certain type of job for it.

YSMACK

I don't buy the usage of most. People no matter what can slack off.

Blue for Life

I probably work more hours at home when I'm remote because I work through what my commute times would have been.

"A third take advantage to run errands" is WAY too low of an answer.

as it should be. I don't believe working 8 hours a day with just a lunch break

maxpowers

10:53am

Interesting. How many hours/day should people work for?

OPINIONS

10:58am

I can’t speak for other roles. I probably average 25 hrs/week of actual work.

I'm in sales. I spent 7 years going into an office everyday. The last 4 have

I do laundry while working from home.

It takes like 2 minutes to rotate laundry or unload a dishwasher. BFD.

Smokers/coffee drinkers take 2-3 time per day breaks. Chit chat …It evens out
