Very interesting discussion about the + and - of working from home. Just one more thing that has changed dramatically since I retired. Apparently for the good for many of you.
To be honest, I would have been way to tempted to sneak out and work on one of my cars or another home project probably. Also, my commute was about 10 minutes by bicycle since we bought a home near work. Previous jobs the longest was 20 minutes by car.
My last 18 years I had multiple department heads reporting to me as the work day progressed and some of it required my physical presence on the production floor, sales dept., shipping or purchasing. I have no idea how I could have duplicated that remotely.
However, both of my daughters have been successful working from home on a significant scale, mostly starting about the time of the pandemic. They have had no problems with distractions and I have witnessed it personally while visiting them.
