For those of you who work from home, what is the best part of it for you?

[Aerissa_Jade]

There is a lot of good things about it for me, but my absolute favorite thing about working from home is when I get tired.

I get down on the floor under my desk and cuddle with my dog and take a nap.

If someone calls me or sends a message, I can hear it and get up to respond as it will wake me up.

I am salary and can have some long days and sometimes I just need a break from it all before continuing.

Taking naps with my dog is my favorite work at home reason but there is a ton of other good things for me.

I'm way more productive at home, far less distractions.

I am still very social, just via chatting on teams instead of in person so I still talk to a lot of people and do not feel like I am being anti social.

Everything that all of you said definitely applies to me as well, all secondary to the naps though.

I can wear comfortable clothes, I do not have to care about looking presentable and professional (they do not require from us to open cameras even on meetings, at least not yet).

It helps me save a lot of money.
I do not need to pay for transportation.
Plus, I do not spend as much as I used to in my previous jobs for food or coffee delivery.

Another plus is that if I do not feel like talking on the Google meet with my colleagues, I simply mute myself. It is not like face to face communication which requires you to be present at all times.

I don't waste time on commute.

Last but not least, I can pet my dog often.

I liked being able to run some dishes, or laundry here and there. To rock out to my own music, or sit in silence, whichever I needed at the time. The "end" of my work day did end up drifting later and later as I compensated for the other time I was taking throughout though, so the line got very blurry for a while. I don't think I'm the only one enjoyed a few nakey work days, or at least PJ days.

I do enjoy being back in the office now though. I missed the social interactions more than I realized. But I certainly wouldn't mind a hybrid home / office schedule some day.

[ChrisMaster69]

I don’t like working from home as such, it means I can end up in the study from 9am to 11pm some days.

far more prefer the office and the atmosphere.

however the not needing to worry what I’m wearing (although we do have an online meetings dress code) is probably main thing, oh and lunch time sex.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I was doing 8 to 10 hours in the office, at home...5, maybe 7 and HR only requires 5 hours to be considered a full day... daily amounts of work and we are done, so why not get it done without distractions, I wished I'd never have to go back in but they are talking about making us all go back in in a few months.

Being salary though means I have to work as long as it takes to get my work done when things go south... like Today and yesterday and Monday and probably tomorrow and Friday the way this week is going.

[ChrisMaster69]

@Aerissa_Jade at present or for last few months I’ve been managing my UK lot and also a couple teams on US West coast, time zones suck lol.

[Yumix]

I can get more done over the day. I can't the trip to and from the office, which can take some time in the traffic and I can also do other stuff at home when I'm forced to wait (e. g. long compiling times)

[Aerissa_Jade]

I love that, sometimes in the office I'd have to work 8 hours then while something was running, go home and work 4 more.

Rather just work 12 hours at home, but in those cases I could get it all done in 10 hours usually.

[jesspalmer11]

For me it would be:
Cooking different types of delicacies which would have been impossible otherwise.
Take a short nap whenever
Watch netflix side by side when working and no one can stop me
Work naked

[Marypindea]

Dear that what your doing

[bananathunder]

I love that i don't have to wake up hours early and get ready and drive to work anymore. I also like that I can wear whatever I want and basically do whatever I want whenever I want. I can eat when i'm hungry. I can play music in the background. I can jack off if I get horny. I could probably take a short nap too if I wanted (haven't done that one yet)

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Having access to streaming music easier. I can see my wife whenever I want. No needing to do my hair for work. Plus I can just stay in my pj's all day if I want.

[najekim]

Let's see. . . Better coffee. . . better food. . . no distractions. . . play my music loud. . . better concentration. . . more focus. . . no one walking up and interrupting. . . don't have to hear other conversations. . . better computer. . . no clothes. . .

[ohshee]

I wish I could work from home LOL but it would be like doing double duty because I would be doing my work plus I would be doing something that I want to work on LOL I love you going back and forth but at least I'd be home sooner LOL

[Agape93]

I can work at my pace, and I can take care of my dogs and home.

[icelolly]

Not having to force myself to flash a smile at everyone while running high on 5 shots of espresso but wanting to lie down and sleep.

[RebeccaBI2000]

I am salary as well and work from home. I can basically wear what I want, depending on the meetings I have. I save on car insurance and gas, but I do miss the interaction with people.

[RobT312]

I hate it, but for me the only good thing is more flexibility and no commuting.
i feel like I work more because of that

[RealMarek]

For me, not having to commute to an office is the best part. I get more done and have more free time.

[Fireguy17]

My wife did before she retired.
It saved her at least an hour a day in time spent commuting and it was like getting a pay raise in gas savings.

[Jhonrembo]

I really like it. It gives me time to plan my day the way I want. A short walk in nature, breaks of invested black coffee, good meals, a shower in the middle of the day.

[elizamichale1]

i did work from home during covid n i loved pretty interesting things about my profession n people

[Mavie123]

Not having to dress up lol
I love working in my comfy home clothes

[DaveToo]

I've been retired for so long, now I just do photography and graphic arts for race teams.

Lay in floor with your dog how big is he

[Aerissa_Jade]

She is 20 pounds and likes to be my pillow.

[Opinion Owner]

Heard that that the way my dog was till had to put her down
Had cancer

[donnny2367764]

The fact that it feels like you are your own boss makes it worthwhile

[krin_m]

Just walk 10 feet to my office. Also control my time better and a lot more done around the house as well. Oh, and sex :-)

[Cowboy6666]

Savings of not travelling/driving to office.
Nothing else.

[Neilbud]

Not having to drive to work. I always get side tracked on other projects tho.
