And to no ones surprise worker productivity is at an all time low

“EY-Parthenon clients have claimed that remote and hybrid work may be contributing to the trend, Draco said, according to a Yahoo! Finance report.

“From our clients across sectors, we hear similar stories of reduced productivity because of the new work environment,” he said.

Greg Onyszchuk, head of regulatory affairs at Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, disagrees.

“To me, there is a significant relationship between productivity and degree of engagement,” he said.

Productivity is down for a number of reasons. I suspect work-from-home arrangements are only a small part of it.

In my STEM field, the biggest factor I see in reduced productivity is a serious shortage of workers. I’ve been in the field for about 30 years, and due to a lack of competent junior staff I am spending about a third of my time doing tasks that I was doing 25 years ago.

I don’t mind it because I enjoy it. But I do recognize that it’s ridiculous for someone to get paid as much as I do for this work.
