    Why can’t you do the same at the office compared to at home? Do you simply work more hours at home since you don’t have to commute?

      I work at home in relative silence with two big screens. In office there is constantly music playing, and everyone’s cheek by jowl, I’m working on a laptop, and there’s a lot of big personalities and I can’t just go to my kitchen to make lunch or get coffee, I have to leave the building and buy something. Plus there’s a “team building” thing at 4pm. Its constant interruptions about look at this quilt I made, did you see Jim’s new shoes, look at my new puppy, even on topic conversations are disrupting because I’m trying to work on project A while two people are talking about project B two feet from my ear.

        Depends on the person I guess. I’m bored as fuck working from home. The only positive about it was that I didn’t have to commute. I’d stop working after 4 hours basically. Get less done. It’s not for me.

        At work the kitchen is nearby. Everyone is on the same floor. 5 departments on one floor. Can just go over there when I need them instead of waiting on some email that take days to be replied to.

        Working with people younger than me, they need support. A lot easier to do on site. I don’t even communicate to the coworkers not working at the office. To me it’s as if they are taking a day off.

        If their work is done, they get more work. If it’s not done then they have that work to do when at the office.

        Pretty sure there’s a lot of fraud. Because I frauded.
