16 years working from home. I'm struggling to remember the last time I went to the office...

Depends if you have to drive, pay for parking, like to buy lunch when out etc.

Electric for your laptop, broadband.
Heating probably, even boiling the kettle.
I know no travel or getting gear ready for work the previous evening, waking up 5 mins before logging on turning on mobile does compensate.
My son actually gets more done working from home,less distraction.
No way any of that costs more me than the diesel I save on commuting. Again, all depends on your usual journey etc.

Absolutely love it. I go in the office once a month which is fine. Thankfully the company I work for reduced our available space so we couldn't even have full capacity if we wanted. Hopefully it stays that way.
Also, any movie buffs out there, the building I work at is in the opening shot of the film 'Office Space'.

Well I suppose you are right there, for females it might become a bit of a tax. Us men just whack another jumper on!
I should have said if you catch a train to work instead of drive, that's got to be a good 5k in wages nowadays...

Same schedule for me since late 2022. All the Federal employees around me are going back to days in-office next week. they are so unhappy as theyve been one day a month since Covid.WFH two days a week and three in office. I am much more productive at home. Would be wonderful to WFH all the time but unfortunately that isn’t going to happen
I hate all this BS about being in the office breeds cammeraderie - I talk to more people in a day on line than I do in the office.Also I dont spend all that time commuting so I usually work 9-10 hours a day when home
Mixed bag for me I work from home all the time and have been for about 2 1/2 years, occasionally get to go out. To be honest it drives me round the bend a bit. I’m on a placement at the moment and driving 1hr 15 to work. It’s been a bit of a godsend to be honest, getting out seeing people.
Having said that, the fuel cost and the time commuting aren’t good. I’m definitely not more productive in the office either, that is a myth. Not sure I’m that productive at home but I get more done in bursts, in between wandering around the house and looking out of the window.
I think hybrid must be the way forward for me, that would be my preferred option. Maybe 2/3 not sure which way around though. I’m definitely not happy working from home 5 days a week. When I return to my normal role I’ll be demanding some office time I think.
Plus I think collectively we have really lost something doing everything online. And it just makes it easier to ramp up the meetings. Nothing worse than a teams meeting.

Did it for 3yrs, felt amazing at the start.
Ended up piling on the weight and feeling depressed and isolated.
Humans are social creatures, if you can't get that via work then you better make sure you can do it outside work hours.
I now work F2F full time and feel a million times better, bike to work, swim in morning, talk to people all day.
Fair play to those who it suits, for me it didn't, recognised and changed.
Flexibility and hybrid working is definitely the future.

Very rarely do it. Half the appeal of the job is that face to face interaction with colleagues. Don't know if I'd cope without that

In my experience in several places, the bosses that are dead against it for employees, work from home most the time themselves and would continue to do so no matter if policies changed.
I WFH pretty much full time. It gives me flexibility with day cares etc, im not as knackered, have more opportunity to exercise, and add valuable content to fridge threads.

I get almost 3 hours more sleep every day too which is belting
