If your job is managing people, the best way to interact with them is through face to face conversation. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.

In the main, I agree. Mainly because otherwise, as has been suggested in this thread, people are tethered to email or Skype. Glancing at email every 5 minutes or making sure nobody is wanting you on Skype is no good if you need to work on something that requires focus or concentration (though if you keep popping your head around the door to interrupt every half an hour, that doesn't work either)????

I have indeed. My issue is with distraction, more than anything else. You mention productivity and efficiency, anything that takes you away from your task ruins these things. It takes about half an hour to refocus after any form of distraction. Every time you check your email or switch over to Skype.idiot ^^^
have you even read the thread?
bloody hell.

I work from home quite a bit, but I don't have to be on Skype or have my email open, so I'm lucky. For people that have to check these things constantly to make sure the office don't want them are not likely to benefit from any of the benefits you mention.
Anything that takes your attention away from the task you're doing. Checking your phone, checking your email, having someone jabbering beside you, etc. I'm not saying working in an office with other people is efficient, just that working from home will also be very inefficient if you've got to check whether anyone at the office wants something every five minutes. If you don't have to do this, then yes, really efficient. Going from what people have said on this thread, that doesn't seem to be the case most of the time.You are talking complete shite, even when I am in work with my co worker beside me it is simply much more efficient with Skype.
What distraction are you on about????

In the end, in the office or not, it all depends on how much people bother you.
In an ideal world, it should be, simply because you've got less distraction in the form of hustle and bustle. Not always the case though if you've got to be constantly connected. There are other issues around being able to switch off from work (particularly if your wfh space is not separate from where you generally "live") and the social benefits of being in an environment with other people, but they aren't my central argument.You are kind of making my point, working from home is simply much more efficient.

I do like working from home, for what it's worth, but that's because I don't currently have my own office at work. If/when I do, I think I'd prefer to be there.
you complete muppet, obviously if you are incapable of organising your time then its not for you. It works best for senior efficient people who know what they are doing.

Great ain’t it?
not continuously, a day or two each week is great. especially when cricket is on.Great ain’t it?
100%, i did it for 2 years, sent me loopy.It's got it's place, but my last gig had me predominately WFH for night on 5 years.
Not much point being in an office when your manager is in Germany and your team is scattered across Europe and India.
Was very isolating in the long run I found, just in terms of general mental health.
How many BTPBW's so far pal?
Great ain’t it?
this as well. "can you make a drink", "can you just hoover the stairs", "can you cut the grass"I’ve started coming back into the office 2-3 days a week because of that exact reason.
