I've been full time wfh since March, all good for me. Granted I work IT for a hospital and am tech savvy. But I was 50% wfh before COVID-19 already. I think anyone who works in an official ce environment should be able to do some sort of wfh without issue. Even our doctors are now for video visits.

My work from home is atrocious because I have to deal with a steady stream of computer issues that makes working difficult. Just spent 10 minutes reconnecting to vpn. I often can’t take it and just walk away from
the computer.

One day Adobe won’t work. Another day Excel runs slowly. It took two weeks for tech support to get laptop working properly, including one instance where they took two hours of my time fixing one thing, while “breaking” two others.

I’m also stuck in the sunroom, which is great if the temperature isn’t over 85 and it’s not raining.

It was so bad at home, I went back into the office...and I was ordered back home...

Home has a lot of distractions, but a fellow coworker - who also works out of her sunroom - probably had the worst. Her next door neighbor decided to start wanking off in his back yard during her work hours...

Edited to add: The first few months, More often than not conference call meetings typically had kids screaming in the background. I always thought to myself, if these people can’t control their kids for an hour meeting, how in the world do they ever get anything done.

Edited to add: I could write a book on the inefficiencies of working from home...On a conference call now...well kinda. Only two people joined. Got no cancellation. Getting dropped off call not uncommon. Large group calls there’s always some you can’t figure out the mute button. Or how to unmute....

I have talked to company reps with dogs barking, babies screaming, etc. Tell me how good that is for business.

I think that going forward, it's going to be very difficult to sell a home for more than your region's average price unless it has a private home office.

With emphasis on the word private.

Worked from Home for the last 5 years I worked for HP. I moved my office 3 times in my house. Started out at the dinning room table. Went to the garage for a while and ended up down in the basement. Worked great for me. But I was IT so I knew how to get to my systems for years for trouble shooting issues since it was a dial up modem.
Just glad now I work at a golf course don't see a computer all day. Love it.
