Good post.
The time and wear and tear (on you and your vehicle) in daily commuting was awful for many folks.
The last couple of years (before I retired) I worked almost all remotely—it was wonderful—and I was more productive than ever.
The extra sleep in the morning (time that would have been spent commuting) helped me to stay fresh and sharp.
I do restaurant back of house stuff. Usually communicate with customers and vendors direct via text. They all have my phone number. Then whatever I do is run through our software. I can do it all from anywhere with just my phone if I have to but I usually carry an iPad everywhere to make it easier.
One of the big problems that will happen due to WFH is when people quit or retire because bosses usually only know part of what an employee does and now they will know even less.
The other issue is that we only have the bordering states in our payroll software. If we hire someone from Georgia, they have to handle their own state taxes.
Some of us have been saying this since it started. Work from home is a scam for most businesses.
The workers are “working” maybe 10 hours a week, and it will not last.
