I am one of those oddities that prefers working in the office. I would much rather be at home, of course, but I have the right combination of adhd and fatigue that means I can’t be productive at home.

Plus I am fortunate to live a 5-minute drive away from my office.

But shit, even I don’t want to be expected to be in the office every single day! And that’s working for a reasonable company and not some crunch mode dev house.

I also have ADHD and those little 5 minute pop-ins that happen at the office are productivity killers. It usually takes me 15 min to get back on task and in the zone so 3 of those an hour and the hour is shot. I can get more done in one day at home than 3 in the office.

I too have ADHD and my in office days are so full of interruptions I just don't plan productive work during that time anymore and instead just book them full of pointless meetings.

Working at home I get interrupted exactly once a day by my girlfriend while she plays with our cat on her lunch break since she had a permanent work from home position even before covid.

A single quiet Thursday or Friday let's me out pace all my peers books of work. The company just wastes their money when they make me show up in person. I don't even by lunch or snacks out there or anything so it doesn't even support local economy. Just wasting time and money for people who can't keep their home organized enough to effectively work from.
