The reduction in co2 emissions, not contributing to public transport overcrowding, saving on food, and the mental health benefits are just some of my reasons for avoiding on site work. Not to mention the savings. I am not against people working on site but i am against companies not allowing remote work. If a company’s culture cant cope with remote workers then that company is not internet ready. Probably shouldnt serve remote customers either and instead should switch to in person.
Not everyone's mental health has benefitted. I have been depressed for the past 2 years and started cutting myself and doing other selfharm. The only face to face social interactions I have are with baristas now.
