Coronavirus: Half of managers say workers are more productive at home

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/remote-working-is-the-future-of-business-says-new-research-230008964.html

More than two-thirds of business owners and managers alike believe remote working is “the future” for their organizations even after the coronavirus lockdown eases, a survey suggests.
A survey of more than 1,000 UK office workers by Hoxby, a virtual agency and consultancy firm, also suggests managers have been pleasantly surprised by teams’ performance from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. 52% of leaders said workers had even been more productive than in the office.
Almost two-thirds of all workers surveyed said they were enjoying working remotely as they could spend more time with their family. The figure was even higher for those with young children at 72%.
Fewer than one in 10 employees was unhappy working from home, and just 19% said they preferred being in the office.

Keep telling yourself WFH will be the future of WF. The reality is there is no future. Reduced workforce is the goal.

Denial is b##ch.

The only ones who are unhappy working from home are the ones who are unhappy at home, and the ones who come to work primarily to socialize. I worked with a manager at one point who stayed at the office every night until 8-9pm - watching videos and eating popcorn. Apparently he wasn't real fond of his wife and three young children.

And then there are the ones who have lots and lots of friends at work - but never seem to have time to actually do any work.

The 80% who come to work to earn a living are fine working from home. Go figure.
