No going to lie, I’ve always loved the work from home option...

it’s sort of like between a regular work day, and a PTO day.

I’m technically working, but don’t really have to deal with anyone in the office. People pretty much just forget about me when I work from home so I get bothered a lot less. I get to save my PTO for when I actually want to use it. Get to stay in my pajamas all day.

I worked from home today. I literally just wanted an extra hour of sleep, so I just texted my boss and went back to bed. Worked all day from my couch devoting more effort to watching Highlander than answering emails.

Working from home is great. People need to jettison this idea that every adult has to get into a car and drive to a building and sit in a gray cubicle and be miserable or it doesn't count as working. Letting more people work from home would mean less cars on the road, better attendance, and overall happier and more productive workers but it's an uphill battle to convince people of this since it involves doing something nice for all the little worker ants and that's just plain unamerican.

harder to collect metrics on peoples bathroom breaks when they're working from home (although that depends on the kind of work you do -- my wife's old remote job actually did track productivity by the minute, and she was always getting stressed out as hell over it)

i've been working from home almost exclusively for over 15 years and it owns, although i've always enjoyed the occasional office visits too. probably helps that i've never had to work for companies or people i didn't like, which i know is rare

yeah working from home’s enemy is jobs wanting to track your minute by minute productivity and penalize any slumps instead of focusing on tasks delivered

at my current job there’s no job-related reason I couldn’t work from home most days a week, but the company wants to see butts in chairs on workdays. not because they’re tracking productivity that way, just because of the “work means being at work” mindset

working from home is an extreme luxury for the professional working class.

many service sector workers are experiencing an opposite phenomenon fueled by data collection and analysis determined to extract as much labor out of a worker as possible on the job site (Amazon warehouses, retail, food service, hotel service etc)

I thought that was more so Japan, but yeah they've always fascinated me too. I think it's because it's an open secret and thus doesn't make any sense- the bosses know that the employee that gets to work at 4am and leaves at 11pm isn't working that entire time because they did it themselves and are probably doing the same thing currently, but it's just something you have to do because ?

America sucks and your jobs suck

Come to Sweden where we have not-bad working conditions and laws in place. You and I can "work from home" together i.e put the work laptop in a corner and let it sit there while we pork the poo poo out of eachother and watch movies

my impression of it is that it’s a mutual cycle of making yourself and others look good. if you work long hours you must be working hard, because if you’re not working hard then you’re not a good worker, and if you’re not a good worker then the company made a mistake when they hired you, so if the company says you’re not working hard then it’s admitting that it made a mistake. and since everybody is pulling long hours during which they sleep or goof off or whatever, nobody wants to crack down on it, but you can’t stop doing it because everyone’s agreed that long hours = hard work = good employee.

sort of like how sleeping at your desk is accepted because it’s automatically taken to mean that you’re tired from working so hard

at my current office (not America or Japan) the local staff have to keep a spreadsheet accounting for all of their hours that day, as in “did this for X minutes” even if it’s something dumb like “talked to Jeff down the hall about [work-related thing] for five minutes” but to the best of my knowledge this is completely for the sake of appearances and their entries are never so much as sanity-checked so it’s just this meaningless ritual where every day people write vague numbers attached to what they did and call it good.
