Sorry, but working from home is overrated

New York Times:

Among the coronavirus’s many effects is a boom in people like me: office workers, shooed away from the office, trying to acclimate to a work-from-home lifestyle.

I’ve been researching the pros and cons of remote work for my upcoming book about human survival in the age of artificial intelligence and automation. And I’ve now come to a very different conclusion: Most people should work in an office, or near other people, and avoid solitary work-from-home arrangements whenever possible.

As usual, the New York Times makes pronouncements and assumptions not applicable to “most people.” I’ve worked from home for 26+ years. No, it’s not for everyone but many, many people can and should make it work.

In your job, could you or do you work from home?
