I'm not sure there is any productivity loss, I work way more efficiently at home

    Same. Guy that sits behind me in the office has an average speaking volume of 78 decibels. Yes, I pulled out a sound meter one day because he is so goddamn loud. And I'm stuck in an open floor plan with him.

    If you had kids, pets, etc, you might find yourself taking more breaks. But breaks are probably good for productivity too...

    A quiet desk with your dog next to you or... soul-crushing commute and a noisy office?

    Gee, I wonder why people are generally more productive at home?

    Plus there's a multitude of studies showing that people work far less than 8 hours a day, even if they are physically present at the job. I doubt productivity actually drops at all.

    I worked in a government office that supported a very seasonal industry.
    My coworker had an 8:30 start and would be done her work by 9.
    Other times we wouldn't have time in the day to finish, but the slow season was hell.
