Ask HN: Has your company noticed a productivity dip since going remote?

I'd even claim a significant productivity boost in the development team, but apparently it's gone unnoticed or is underestimated, plus there are many other apartments, so that there is a rush to get everyone back to office.

If you have, don’t take that as a reflection on remote work in general.

Currently, childcare is eating into a lot of people’s time. Roommates and children who wouldn’t normally being around are causing distractions. People have lost their social and emotional outlets and are stressed as hell, thus not sleeping or concentrating as well as usual.

No, we're more productive and focused. Small team of five people. 2.5 technical.

However "post hoc ergo procter hoc" aware: we dropped many projects with unreliable partners that consumed a lot of my mental resources and distracted me from our core product. Dropping these projects made me more focused and back in the game.

As a counter question, what companies track productivity well enough to really know the answer to this and how do they do it? I feel like most responses will be anecdotes.

I joined a new team about a month before the work from home order. I was making progress at being more productive during that month and maybe 2 weeks into working from home. After that I feel I have plateaued. Two and a half months later, I might even be backsliding in terms of productivity.
