[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I average about 4-6 hours of zoom meetings a day, most of which I need to be 100% on for (leading the agenda, etc). And then I’m rushing to do real work around the edges. Once or twice a week I might take 20 minutes to take a walk at lunch and will spend 5 min saying hi to my kids after school but am otherwise working straight 8-5 and often early morning/evenings too.

Not saying that’s a good thing. In fact, this thread is confirming for me that I should be looking for a new job. But for me and many of the people I work with, WFH does not mean taking care of personal stuff and/or otherwise slacking off during the work day,[/quote]
Based on the writing style, a lot of the “I do nothing!” posts in this thread are from one person who we know has a vendetta against WFH.[/quote]

Maybe, but the anecdotes seem varied. You seem a little sensitive to the issue. Look, everyone knows that WFH is not all work. In fact, we know that all office work is not work. So, why would it not be true that people do a bunch of personal stuff during working hours? I think the rub is that some jobs are much more on task while others have a lot of slack. If your position doesn’t have productivity metrics, there is more personal discretion around how and when the job gets done. [/quote]
