I guess it does if you live in a shit country with a shit job.
I very much prefer to work in the office. First of all I don't have a dedicated office in my house, and I do not want to work in my living room.
I walk 20 minutes to the office and chat with my colleagues. I see no reason why not seeing your colleagues in person would make your life better.
If I need a day off, I take a day off. It happened plenty of times to me that the same day I get busy with something important and I'll just call the job and tell them I'm not going to work.
I imagine if your job is not like this then remote work is better. But you don't have to change your job for a job with remote work; you have to change your job for a better job.
Agree, I have been interning remotely this summer, and I've never felt so isolated. I just sit on my couch all day doing barely any work. However some people clearly like it, so remote vs local should be up to the workers to choose, flexibility and personal choice are some of the biggest factors contributing to work place health
Ah, there it is. It’s a skill issue.
Interns don't actually do shit anyway.
He'd still have nothing to do in the office. Actually most people in an office are doing nothing regardless of title in my experience.
As Ranzispa says, he goes there to chat and bother everyone else rather than actually work.
