I've been working from home since February. For me it is WAY less stressful, less dickheads to interact with socially and get on with your work. I guess it depends on how your mind is built on which side on the fence you land on. |
Not dealing with online home schooling I suppose?
For me it was more stress since you never leave work. It's always there and put me completely off PC gaming for a long time. PC was work. Always more mails, more bug reports, more things to fix, more requests, you never really leave work. At least that's how it went for me.
Normally the time commuting home is a break, time to put work away. At home it just continued in my mind, you don't need to sit behind a PC to code or design or to figure out what might cause certain issues. So leaving home (cycling) was the answer in the summer, no good in winter and no good with the current situation.
Btw, dickheads are bigger dickheads over email and text chat. It's much easier to get things done in the office. Plus meetings are the worst through video or phone. And then there's the temptation to get on with your work at night, the crunch factor. Finish what you were doing or try to fix something without the interruptions of virtual meetings and more bug reports coming in.
Working from home has its advantages, but for software development in a teamwork setting, it's a pita, especially with deadlines looming.
