This is one thing I think is not appreciated enough about WFH. It can, in some cases mean work from outdoors for some period of time. I don’t mean relaxing in the sunshine and pretending to work. I mean working your ass off outside and moving the needle for your organization.

I’m sorry, Elon is waaay smarter and more capable than I am but he is empirically wrong about his anti WFH bias.

Out of curiosity, and if you don't mind sharing, what was your staring position?

I ask, because even if they never invest a cent in your personal ventures, it is a very significant boost to to have wealthy parents who provide both broad access to formal and informal education, valuable networking, and a dependable safety net. Saying someone with those advantages is "more capable" when comparing them to the average First Worlder (let alone the average human being) is a sort of perceptual bias that seems unfortunately common.

I have no excuses.
or it could mean not leaving your house for weeks at a time. At least when you go to the office you have to leave your home and go to the office and that in theory means time outside.
So, it is better to be forced to go somewhere that they don’t want to go so that they are forced to go outside for a few minutes (or seconds even).
WFH what?
"Work from home"
