      Wfh only benefits a pretty small subset of the population… Speaking as someone who can’t work from home.

          I work a graveyard shift so traffic doesn’t really affect me. Which I’m sure is at least somewhat common among the people who can’t wfh.

            Yeah, I work in an underground lair in a barracks. It wouldn’t benefit me either, so not much interest in supporting it. I’d rather we vote for faster escalators. Now that’s something everyone can use.

      In my experience WFH wasn’t worth it. The jobs pay way less with shitty benefits and the pressure was intense. Hybrid jobs are much more chill and pay more so I can afford things like a weekly cleaning lady to take some pressure off home life.

      It shouldn’t be like this but here we are, and we have to make the best of it.

        This is proof that the plural of anecdote is not data. I’ve been working from home for almost six years and the pay and benefits are great and any pressure I have is made up for by the fact that I can work without pants.

        the jobs pay less

        You’re doing very

        Shitty benefits

        VERY

        pressure intense

        VERY wrong.

        I don’t work from home, but that’s a choice of field. As soon as I can, I’ll hop back to it.
