Home or Office: Productivity
How is your productivity at home vs productivity at office? Please also explain your role and constraints at home/office which changes your productivity.
I guess I am one of the few who lose productivity at office getting distracted by colleagues chitchatting. There is always someone trying to grab that attention towards him/her.
Exactly, in the office there'd be sutta break 1, lunch break sutta break 2 and sutta break 3 (even though I don't sutta). Then we also have to use office facilities of TT/Xbox/Jenga etc.
Plus random topics and discussions always start.
Good for bonding but not so much for work. 😅
Work from home is great for deep work. Office is great for those who are busy in self-promotion. Work from home is more about ideas. Office is more about how you fit in, how you talk, how you dress, how you look, etc.
All this would not matter for WFO if the teams we work with are decentralised. Then the office space becomes just a desk and a monitor.
Haha that splits engineers vs managers on this app very nicely
I feel that for introverts like me, WFH is much more beneficial, especially as an engineer. I think the majority of the focus is on getting the job done and actual required skills. In the office, a lot of crap, that has no relation to your work whatsoever comes into picture.
Higher at cafe
The white noise and the fact that the many people around give no shot about your presence can be a productivity boost.
My productivity fell off a cliff when I started working from the office. I started to keep track of time and found myself looking at my watch frequently. The commute to and from the office is harsh, wading through traffic in all the dust, pollution and the harsh sun made me feel tired even before arriving at the office. Cherry on top of the sh*t cake is that even in WFO, I still have to connect with teammates over Zoom as I'm the only engineer working from this location. What is even the point of this mindless RTO bs!
I solved the hardest problems of my career when I worked from home. I used to work more than 12 hrs nonstop when I was faced with a challenge and still had more time for family and friends and social connections.
Now I'm sitting in a shtty PG in a different town thousands of miles from my family, eating sht food, going to an office 5 times a week where no one speaks English or Hindi and huffing on copium that WFH becomes the norm again in the future.
Lower Productivity at office. Always distracted with Engg and Marketing constantly creating ruckus and being moron in general. I have taken half days to work at home so I can actually prepare shit for important meetings or analytics.
I hated the return to office shit. It's great for people sitting in cabins being able to silo and focus as per requirement. Open office is a monkey market.
Great for Ops, Sales and Marketing. Shit tier for Analytics, Coders and Product.
Interesting to see someone with a SaimanSays username here 😀 It’s been really long since he came out with a new video
