We waste SO much time on the days we work in person

The company I work for does one week in the office, then one week remote. We also work remote on the weeks of certain holidays.

I’ve noticed that the days we work in office are our least productive.

We stand around talking to each other for a while, and when it’s slow we just have to find things to do. So you can walk in and see some people coloring, reading, walking in circles, staring out the window longingly, etc.

When I’m home and it’s slower, I can do chores, get started on dinner, or go sit out on my porch and soak up some sun.

I just think it’s goofy they have us coming in and we spend so much of our day trying to find stuff to even do while we wait on emails or calls from clients.
