Dan LykeYeah, I know, everyone else is sharing the article, but we need this message in the public consciousness: Working from home may reduce a person's carbon footprint by 50%.
Goerp@danlyke
If I'm allowed to offer a different view:
To me working from home is like being buried alive. Enforced depression. My productivity drops tremendously as well, co workers become unreal.
Although for a while a lot of colleagues liked working from home most have changed their view and returned to the office (though not full time).
Maybe for some jobs it works, but in my experience cooperation really improves when people work side by side.
@goerp yeah, admittedly part of my last job change was so that I wasn't just at home ruminating all day, although Covid showed that this current (very small) company has a communication culture where distributed worked.
I think that no matter what, we need to build stronger social support structures than we typically have. Even from home, I'm morning coffee-ing and lunch-ing with friends several times a week. Just walking to do so.
