Bullshit. Everyone who worked in-office knows folks who spend half their day in pointless meetings, and the other half chatting by the coffee machine. Obscuring lack of productivity in an office setting is not particularly hard - it's a lot easier to "look busy" in person



Agreed. I have been mostly remote since 2015 and if anything I feel more pressure to achieve things as I can't justify my existence merely by being there.


TBF, it was always easier to look busy in an office, with everyone around you. Plenty of ways to procrastinate work with "work".

When you work remote the only thing you have to show is your output.
