Remote Working DOOM

[PerfectStorm]

A professional working day does not involve getting up in the middle of a meeting to answer your front door.

Heaven forbid! Although it does seem to involve spending 3 hours on a train and dressing like you're doing to a wedding each day.

I know which one I'd prefer.

No it doesn't and no it doesn't.

Merit of home working obviously varies bigly from person to person. For me there is no contest. At home I have better equipment, higher energy levels and greater productivity, and avoid the environmental homicide of commuting to the client 2.5 hours away. Even meetings are more productive. Only drawback perhaps is slight loneliness, living on my own.

Somebody living in a big city with local clients might have a very different viewpoint, as might people with children at home during the day, or folks living in flats, and so on. Companies might take these personal circs into consideration when negotiating WFH, or are there legal aspects(?)
