What? There is no such thing, WFH employees are more productive without interruption.

I know that, you know that, other WFH employees know that. My comment above was tongue-in-cheek; it's studies and reports like the linked PDF that management and Clevel will use to delude themselves and employees to comeback into the office.

I was wondering who Clevel was before I realized you meant C-level.

I vote for a compromise. We stop pushing for WFH and instead demand for dedicated office space. Individual offices where we have a home away from home and enough privacy.

The amount of times I had to hold a fart in, struggle to pick my nose, or put on loud earphones just to focus in an open plan office is unacceptable.

My individual dedicated office is at my house. I don’t want to drive any amount of time to sit in a room at a computer and do the same thing.

Sometimes I want to work elsewhere, and will go to the park or just sit in a parking lot somewhere.

The only benefit I see to physical proximity is the unexpected encounters that can help resolve business situations or help ideas flourish.

I'd actually strongly prefer to work from the office if I actually had an office. But basically all employers insist on these horrendous open office plans these days, so WFH it is.

I'll go into the office when I'm paid for both commute time and lunch.

Until Judge Judy starts.
