I’m not disagreeing with what this gentleman is saying, but I think every WFH person is very aware of the marketing campaign that is going on right now. People prefer to work from home. Companies want us back in the office. So therefore, there’s become a plethora of “experts” telling us why it’s so bad for us to work from home, as we prefer. It’s social programming in action.

So the truth is that both sides are correct. WFH is awesome. And it can be done successfully IF you are already an expert at your job. If you are already an expert at your job, you are MORE successful working from home. I work MORE hours from home. I am not interrupted by people chatting in the office. I work during the time I would be getting ready for work and driving to work. I typically work through lunch and grab a sandwich in my kitchen and keep working. Also, as a manager, I can log off at 5 or 6 and start with family stuff BUT if an issue or emergency arises, I can log back in quickly and handle it. NOW THAT SAID, training people who are at home, or hiring inexperienced people as remote is VERY difficult. It isnt the same as a WFH person who's been doing it for 10+ years or in my case, 20. As usual, people are taking one side or the other, when in fact, it depends. Personally, I would rather have a team of experts, who are professionals that I can count on, NOT adding to their exhaustion with commutes, nice clothing, lunch issues, commuting home and for them to spend that extra energy on our customers!
