Isn't it better to work from home... less risk of fines with all those cameras on the roads popping up everywhere....

When I was doing a desk job in an office, I got FAR more distracted in the office with endless conversations, than I ever did at home. At home I could just focus on what I needed to do. So as far as I'm concerned, working in an office is a productivity killer, and that's not even counting the time pointlessly wasted commuting.An important consideration with WFH jobs is productivity. Are you getting as much done at home with all the distractions?

Same, I often ended up doing additional work after official clock off, in time that I would have otherwise been commuting. So I was doing the boss a favour, and getting more done. But there's still this sense that people at home are bludging, while the people chattering away all day in an office are 'productive'.I did it during Covid and found I worked heaps longer hours
People in the office spend on all day blabbing about the WFH people and any other bullshit they can think of to avoid work.When I was doing a desk job in an office, I got FAR more distracted in the office with endless conversations, than I ever did at home.

Unfortunately there’s some that can’t control themselvesI work from home, initially for myself and now for a company. I am more productive from home, but they do have a higher turnover of staff bcoz they weed out the bludgers. The role is technical, difficult, and it comes with time frames, and koi’s to meet, so you gotta be self motivated and having a go. One bloke was going to the gym every arvo at 2pm, his pecs were sensational but his jobs piled up and they GPS’d his ute, now he’s working for someone else and driving to work every day.
I love WFH. Yeah sometimes I can be working different or longer hours to meet kpi’s, but I work with my dog The Fonz on my desk every day, Mrs BF is my tea lady, and I get paid well to work diligently from home. Why would I ruin that by not working hard and meeting the deadlines they ask. 🤷♂️
Fair enough, but equally, there's an entire CBD economy based solely on people leaving their offices to go and buy coffees several times a day, whereas a work from homer just flicks the kettle and keeps working.My neighbour works from home.
He is a sales manager. He’s got the best lawn in the street because it gets mowed three times a week. For every productive worker from home i reckon there’s one that’s taking the piss.
Away for 6 months? That’s tough.Unfortunately there’s some that can’t control themselves
My wife worked from home for a few years and did too many hours
Even after shutting her computer down she’d go back in and spend half hour doing something that she said would benefit her work the next day
Atm she’s working an 8 day fortnight away for 6 months
Sorry if I implied WFH jobs are for bludgers with my question? I WFH myself and wouldn't have it any other way. Just need to find the right work/life balance.Same, I often ended up doing additional work after official clock off, in time that I would have otherwise been commuting.

She’s home every 2nd weekend for 4 days. Can’t say it’s really bothered me yetAway for 6 months? That’s tough.
Yeah I’m not working again till next Tuesday but I’ve already checked emails. I am waiting on quotes and technical reports to come in. I did it before Mrs BF woke bcoz I’m getting back into work after an op, so she’s on to me about over doing it and bcoz of her duel roles the other being minister for finance and fashion, she is on to me about overtime.
