Is #5 true?<p>I want it to be true, but I am wary of the fact that people say that not because it is true, but because they also want it to be true.<p>My own anecdotal experience suggests that, yes, people do slack off more if they are remote.
To me personally the number 1 reason is no noises nor distractions at all! This way I can be very productive and actually work nearly non-stop, apart from minor times to get up and move around to relax myself a bit.<p>Another reason is having access to my fridge so I can consume healthy food and beverages any time I want AND having access to my OWN toilet that I know who's using it in my house.
I find it hilarious how hr tries to make office more appealing. They just don't seem to understand they're not as lit as an afternoon nap-break, or not hanging out on the road w/o payment.<p>Sometimes they come around and say something like: awesome colleagues...
Ya, i'm totally happy to sacrifice my nap, time, stressfree life, fridge in range for someone who's also only hanging out because he wants the money...
