Yes, dehumanize the workers more.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that's what they are trying to say.

I think they are saying you /need/ to groom less, and that's objectively true. 720p webcams just don't pick up the scruffiness you can see standing less than 6 feet from someone.

All the time, during lunch I will squeeze in 60 minutes of steady state on my rowing machine, I row competitively, that's about 1000 calories burned. I don't always take a shower right after.

What I love about this is during lunch-ish, I can be maxed out on caffeine. As I understand, you want to slowly ramp up your caffeine over several hours. Can't normally do that before work, or even after work.

> Zoom out: The value of the commute time saved is even greater than the numbers suggest, write the paper's authors, for three reasons:

> Remote work saves money. (No more spending on gas or trains or buses.)

> Workers also spend less time grooming and getting ready for work when they're remote.

> Working from home gives people more autonomy over their time during the day.

I know exactly what they are talking about!
