I strongly disagree that work from home is a disaster.

I have been lucky enough to have been iN DEMAND for the last two years, And I often work on more than one contract at the same time.

I love what I do so 80 or 90 billable hours a week is no big deal for me.

I get up at 6 AM and I’m on my computer 15 minutes later with a big cup of coffee. I often get an hour or two of significant work done before anybody else even comes on line In the Morning.

And I’ll be on my computer until eight or nine at night. Not 14 hour 15 hours straight I’ll just stop for dinner and coffee and breaks And More coffee... But I usually bring it to my desk and while I’m thinking about the solving the next problem.

I absolutely love what I do and I would be writing software for fun if I were Not being paid for it.

So work for from home has been great! I can pack in a ton of hours and everybody’s happy.

Plus I can afford to have a housekeeper come in once or twice a week and my house is cleaner than ever before that I was able to do. So I am actually hiring and paying somebody, Who is grateful to only have to work a couple of days of the week and I pay very well.

So, Work from home has been far from a disaster.

The government conspired with IT korporations to suppress wages in the industry. This is the inevitable result. The intelligent and capable employees who would have worked in IT won't go near it, leaving those who are too far in to change careers, along with woke snowflakes and H1B visa holders who can't deliver what customers need.

Work From Home is only viewed as a disaster because it exposes how many idiots were being carried by hard working staff.

Those I deal with that have the biggest issues with Work From Home are the incompetent mid-level managers who are now exposed as never having managed their staff but instead had "the group" mind the underlings for them. Higher level employees appreciate Work From Home because their subject matter experts are a screen-sharing session away. Our turnaround on certain tasks has gone from weeks to hours.
