Since working from home (WFH) has become more permanent for many employees, we thought we would share the results of a Wall Street Journal survey asking people for the best and worst parts of working from home.
| The Best | The Worst |
| Not having to commute to/from an office: 100% | The isolation: 41% |
| Spending more time with my family: 90% | Having to spend more time with my family: 75% |
| Not being interrupted while working: 41% | The proximity of bad habits (Netflix, food, bed): 36% |
| Working at/with my own pace/schedule: 27% | Physical irritations (noise, bad lighting, limited space): 29% |
| Ability to care for child/parent/relative/friend: 9% | Lack of structure: 7% |
| Ability to escape coworkers/office gossip/politics: 7% | Management assuming that you are not working: 3% |
