I used to work for 4 years from home. My productivity went down, I was distracted all the time. I would never do that.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Me too. Seriously hit my mental health because I was feeling so isolated. Even just two days a week from the office was better, the best for me personally is 4 days in the office, one or half from home.

My criticism towards most WFH set ups is that it erodes the unity of workers, making it easier for managers to pick on them. You end up knowing your coworkers less and therefore working less as a team.

  • again, my personal experience.

I have worked from home for four years as well. Because I have self control, it has been amazing. It sounds like you need a babysitter, not a job.

A bit harsh maybe on someone for enjoying to work in a different way than you?

[–] BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not when these losers are trying to make work from home look bad. I'm honestly betting it's some middle management shill.

Different people prefer doing things in different ways, that should be obvious?

[–] BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone needing to be constantly monitored to be effective isn't a different way of doing something, it is acting like a child.

That is not what they said. I could argue you are acting like a child.

They literally said they couldn't keep them self on task.
