    41 year old male, no kids, no wife or girlfriend, been work from home for 5 years now. I’ve never been happier and more productive.

    I get my sense of community from my friends not my coworkers. This study is B.S.

      You know there are always outliers because research often looks at populations in general and not the exact experience of a specific person. Unless it’s a case study but that’s different.

      Either way that’s a really good thing for you, the modern world makes it difficult to make and keep close to friends.

        True, and I was drawing on anecdotal evidence that I didn’t elaborate on in my original comment. While I know there are people who do not do well or enjoy work from home, I have yet to meet those people, all my coworkers and friend group are loving work from home.

        So a more accurate statement would have been, based on my personal experience along with with coworkers and my friend circle this study is B.S.

          Tbf there’s definitely some confirmation bias in there because a person who didn’t enjoy being remote probably wouldn’t seek that type of job
