I swear, when I'm called into the office I get fuck all nothing done. Like once in a while there's a reason for me to be on site, and I do that thing and nothing else all day.

Distractions, interruptions, noise, general discomfort. Seems every time I actually start making progress on something, a person stops by my desk and that basically erases whatever I did. So it always ends with "I'll do it tomorrow when I'm at home".

I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

And you know, working from home I'm comfortable doing things otherwise I wouldn't agree to doing - particularly coming online late hours.

They're doing maintenance at 7pm, that's no big deal, I'll adjust my hours around and make it work. Not like I'm driving or just staying late, okay I'm not doing a 12 hour day at the office. And realistically 4pm-7pm would basically just be waiting. Guess I would if I really had to, but I wouldn't be too happy about it. Heck just last week I checked to see if something applied correctly at 12am. No big deal, just log in and make sure.

And I fully recognize this could be exploited, become the norm. I'm careful to set boundaries, but I guess working from home has loosened my boundaries of what is and isn't okay. Used to be I wouldn't even answer my work phone after 5pm, but now it's not so bad. Little annoying sometimes, but I'm okay with it.
