Bosses think workers do less from home - bbc article
My job doesn’t lend itself to WFH but I have noticed on nearly every thread on here about WFH, people insist that they are more productive. However, I have to admit that this doesn’t match with my experiences. But I am one person so maybe I’ve been unlucky, except this article is quite interesting about perceptions.
I also think it changes homes and areas. My own DH is WFH today and it is my day off, meaning I will spend it feeling as f I am I the way in my own home. Homes aren’t meant to be offices.
I get there are advantages but overall I don’t think it works well at all.
AIBU?
To feel WFH has had its day a bit?

WFH does not help new starters (ie our children) it only helps those that are already established.

Try bring a trainee and just wfh, it’s shit, you don’t learn anything. I’m looking for a new job now because I hate it so much. There’s no culture or way of networking and when you do finally get into a meeting it’s all about the one person that hogs the mic and their personal life.
I’m glad some people get a positive experience though.

@PerfectlyPreservedQuagaarWarrior true but it doesn’t work for everyone.

Bosses who think WFH means lower productivity have massively underestimated just how unproductive I managed to be while in the office.
