This is the Nth article trying to convey the new narrative.

The narrative that "we need to go back".

No!

We don't need. The market is hot and we can choose.

Take the simple math. 1 hour commuting one way.

2 hours by day, 10 hours by week, 40 hours by month.

Working at home gives you back at least 40h.

Working at home GIVES you BACK AT least 1 Week!

And I am not even talking about better food, spresso machine and gym!

Now we are fighting climate change staying at home and reducing our carbon print not commuting.

I agree. With the 40 hours I’ve saved each month, I’ve wound up giving easily at least 10 more hours to my employer. I’ve used the remaining 30 to connect more with my spouse, work out, improve my home, read, and take mindfulness breaks.

My employer gets more labor. I feel more rested, so I engage more with my work. I’m interested in hearing perspectives where this is a bad thing.

Perspective: 19th century control. Period
Hopefully, everyone will go back.
