    Trust me it’s incredible. I think it has benefits for the employer too.

    Cheaper real estate and the other week I was ill, not horribly but didn’t want to spread anything so I just stayed at home. I didn’t get a mark on my record and the boss didn’t have to schedule my work to anyone else.

      I feel like it’s only beneficial for two kinds of people: those who’re trying to save money or those who’re trying to save their time. If you don’t fall into either of the categories then WFH can make you feel very lonely and isolated specially if you live alone.

        Right but who doesn’t want to save money or time? My job still has the option of working in the office as much as you want. It’s not an all or nothing equation.

          Oh I’m not talking about your job in particular. I was mostly speaking about forced work from home. Hybrid way of working is the best of both worlds (more or less).

          Also I meant WFH (not hybrid) is bad for people who want to go out and socialize but can’t. Making it so they take less and less care of themselves. Obviously this isn’t for everyone but a large number of people working from home suffer from this issue.
