Linked it in another post. But based on your response, we can all rest assured that the facts don't matter.

"A sample of 26 studies out of 112 potential studies (from various databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Web of Science database from 2020 to 2022) were used after a comprehensive literature search and thorough assessment based on PRISMA-P guidelines. Findings reveal that the impact of the WFH model on employee productivity and performance depend on a host of factors, such as the nature of the work, employer and industry characteristics, and home settings, with a majority reporting a positive impact and few documenting no difference or a negative impact."

As I already said, the evidence early in the pandemic, which your study is pulling from, showed a slight increase. Although yours claims a mixed bag. Your link doesn't challenge my claim at all.

I'm pointing to the more current evidence showing the reverse is true and productivity is dropped.

I guess we will have to wait for more studies, the consensus now is that it's beneficial. My personal experience is that I'm happier and working harder than ever.

I provided a study that showed a decrease in productivity. You provided one that said it was a mixed bag. All of these companies think they are better served having people back in the office...

And you're still maintaining the consensus is that wfh is better. Confirmation bias is s hell of s drug.

Should have realized that when you accused me of pulling my opinion out of my ass, you were warning me what you were going to do.

My guy, the study literally says the majority reports a positive impact, and you say it's a mixed bag, yet I'm the one with confirmation bias.

Majority has a different meaning than all.

Plus all those other points I made which show your "consensus" has come from your ass.
