When you have the power to set the tone for how you start your day, you regain more control of how you can do your work and feel about it. You can even do it unwashed in your pajamas. Work-from-home employees said they were less likely to brush their teeth and shower than full-time office workers.This flexibility also comes with more agency on where you can work. When you work from home, you do not have to deal with distracting coworkers next to you. The downside of no annoying coworkers? The lack of collegial camaraderie. More than half of remote employees said they felt lonely throughout the day.There is a middle ground that could be a more satisfying option overall. Participants who split their time between home and the office reported higher work-life balance and family life satisfaction than full-time remote and office workers, suggesting that the flexibility to go into the office for some face time still holds appeal.
