I jest by saying reason number 8 but here goes off the top of my head. All can be disputed of course, and I refer to 100% WFH, not hybrids, which reduce many issues.Originally Posted by rudy gestede
1 - Generally bad for mental health, especially for some
2 - Bad for staff development
3 - Bad for public transport infrastructure
4 - No better for the environment
5 - Bad for creating team cultures
6 - Worse for younger staff
7 - increases inequalities
8 - very questionable productivity gains, especially in long term
9 - takes forever to get some stuff done
10 - questionable savings long term
I just find staff are sadder, miss eachother, more anxious and have far less holistic knowledge about what is going on. Silos are strengthened etc. It is also profoundly unfair that the 50 year old person in the large 5 bed house with garden and home office was previously given the same resources as the 25 year old in a shared house, whereas now their working environments reflect their status. It's cruel in many respects.
