Good post.
Before I retired—pre Covid—my commuter bus was filled with people working on their computers on the bus.
They all agreed that commuting to the office was a total waste of their time and that all of their work—mostly insurance industry number crunching—could be done at home.
It was just a matter of time before their big bosses figured it out as well and could save money on office space.
I was chatting with someone who recently retired. She had been working from home for the last 8 years. I asked how was it going and she said I have less time now. She added I used to get a lot done personally during the day before!
That melded with a survey a few years ago wherein office staff said they probably spent about half their day actually working. Maybe anomalies but could be representative.
