| I've just gone back to WFO and here are the reasons it sucks for me: - an extra hour per day getting ready and travelling which increases stress and is ~250 hours per year simply wasted - many people have to waste much more. - my office has terrible facilities. there is no natural light, heating is inconsistent and it's dusty. - my office is attached to a factory so i have to listen to lathes running for a full 8 hours per day while i'm trying to solve problems. - no eating area so i pretty much sit in my car for my lunch break - people are constantly interrupting me with trivial issues that have absolutely no priority - i don't really socialise at work much anyway so what's the point? i'm the only developer so there's no benefit from being near a team Instead I could sit in my office at home with a superior set up, superior comfort, relaxing environment. I can go and have a lie down whenver I want. I can start and finish work at odd times if necessary. I can go to the gym on my lunch break. It's just no contest for me personally although I must admit the quality of my office environment is certainly below average. |
