    This is a very binary discussions. It is entirely possible that working from home when concentration is needed, and office for cohesion and alignment, is better for everyone.

    I sure as shampoo have 5x the efficiency when not in the office. But i also get disconnected and work feels meaningless when not with a group of people.

      I feel the exact same way after working from home for the last five years. The disconnection and pointlessness along with the reduced physical activity and terrible company corporate culture have actually resulted in me seeking out a job in an office again.

      I think it may be better for mental health and physical health, depending on the company and their culture.

        Thanks man. I got some hate for my comment suggesting a mix might be beneficial and I hobestly don’t get it.

        I have much the same experience as you with disconnection and meaningfulness.

          I think a lot of the negative energy comes from folks that lack experience, and maybe are stuck in an office wanting to work from home. It definitely has its upsides, but it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows!

            I get that. Sure.

            It just seemed yet another really black/white discussion and I lost faith there for a moment

      Do you have anything to back up your feelings?

        You want me to back up that something is possible? Like prove that the fabric of everything could facilitate a situation with the mentioned parameters holds true at the same time without the universe imploding?

        That is a great epistemological question. And of little practical value i fear.

        However, as you came across derogatory with the feelings bit, I’m going to have to ask you to try again, if you really want to talk about this stuff.
