We're in the middle of a world health and financial crisis so productivity naturally goes down.

Also a lot of people have little kids at home, hard to get work done like that.

These are not normal times, WFH has nothing to do with it

You just mentioned one of the greatest distractions caused by WFH:

a lot of people have little kids at home, hard to get work done like that.

And then you said "WFH has nothing to do with it."

Kids are at home due to the pandemic, If they were running around at your office it would have been the same

If they were running around at your office

Which happens how often exactly?

[mderazon]

I have been WFH long before the pandemic as well and have little kids. My kids were at school / kindergarten and I had no distractions. I was saying that we should compare this situation with little kids at home while WFH to a situation of kids running around at your office. I agree it doesn't happen often but having kids 24/7 at home while trying to work from home did not happen often either, before the pandemic...

Exactly! This isn’t WFH. This is “attempt to work as a global pandemic rages.”
