I don't see a problem. WFH is about getting your work done, not appearances.

There are 2 types of "remote" workers. Those who spend much of the day doing personal stuff and not work. And then there are those who actually put in a full day of work. And that group is actually more productive than being in an office setting which is always filled with distractions. Instead of an across the board ending of remote work it should be based on individuals. If you send an important email, text, whatever and do not get a reply for hours you know that at least today that person is not being attentive to work. Let those who have proven that they are productive at home continue to do it.

This might be industry specific, but for me it's the exact opposite. If I respond to emails or slack messages immediately, it's probably because I don't have anything important that I'm working on, or that I'm just browsing Lemmy or something. If it takes me an hour to respond, it's because I was head-down on something and didn't want the interruption by changing focus to something different.

It really says something about how all over the place OP is that they can't imagine possibly having a very complex task that takes all your concentration. Any time I try to split my attention between a couple emails or documents, inevitably one gets a little less quality put into it. It depends on what your job is, but it isn't worth the risk if you risk say, mixing up data from one file in another. You'd say to me then, well, pay more attention! Be more organized! That's exactly why I know that some items deserve my full attention because I'm prioritizing them.

No there's lots of different kinds of people. Some people work a full 9-5 chained to their desks, and others get their work done early so they can go and live their lives to the fullest. The point of WFH is flexibility: I don't need permission to go walk my dog or fold laundry. As long as I get my assigned work done, who cares WHEN or HOW or WHERE I do it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

You describing overall productivity vs. amount of hours worked and that of course is totally logical.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The ones doing personal stuff at home are also not effective in the office except now they can go around and distract everyone else.

Nah. Keep remote work for everyone.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Agreed lots of non work related distractions from co workers

Responding to email and text is at the bottom of my todo list. I’ve got more important matters to do at my job. Email is for things that can be dealt with on a later time, like days later. If it is truly urgent you’d call.

Bet you are the type of person who says they work 80 hours a week and all you do is write and read emails from the couch.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everything else is understandable. Cat cleaning itself, lots of mugs, sock on the floor - par for the course.

It's the two thirds of a donut on a fork that got me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fingers needed to remain mission-critical levels of clean for one reason or another, but the donut was also too tempting, and boom, fork-donut.

Idk what this is but my homes been cleaner than ever since it also became my workplace. Im not running from one day to the next it stays nice.

This reminds me of the proliferation of content creators who make content advising content creators. Like if you had the tips for success wouldn't you just be successful rather than barely scraping by? It feels like there are more of these content coaches than non-coach content creators these days

My field is littered with these gurus that sell you their courses... I think anything remotely "sexy" has them..
