This article is silly. Flexibility in your day is the reason remote workers are productive. Everyone has ups and downs in their day. When down, rather than staring unproductively at a screen in some cubicle somewhere, it is terrific to use those times to take care of something in your life. Whether it is moving some laundry or taking a nap... you get it done and you come back productive.

We are paid to get work done, not to burn specific hours in a chair.

Funny how they don’t mention the time your employer doesn’t get from you while you commute.

I returned to the office mid-Covid in part because, when remote, I was working too hard at home. At the office, I was able to waste time during the day shooting the breeze with the few other folks there, and closing my laptop for my drive home reduced the chance of it being open at 10 pm.

Whenever I hear executives go off about return to office, I know they’re probably lazy and don’t understand what makes their companies tick: self-driven work.

Yes I'm shocked how low all these numbers are.

Maybe remote work is not for everyone but it absolutely is for some people.

I work way way more from home than I ever did from office because of how structured my routine is. My employer squeezes most of my time as i work too much and cant myself take breaks during the day.

Not for a wall, just avoiding views/traction

Walk around any office. How many people do you see doing online shopping or in pointless meetings.

Is this remote specific? I've seen plenty do online shopping in the office. What's the difference?

This article is rage bait. Nothing more, or less.

USA today really should be ashamed of publishing such complete crap.
