it's great, I get more done and get to work the hours that suits me. Saves me a fortune on Fuel, and can even arrange a cheeky meet during what would normally be working hours   |

Loads! I work more now than I did in the office. No sciving off for a coffee or going to the bathroom. No chatting to colleagues in the corridor or at lunch.
Don’t get me wrong, I like WFH but it can be hard work. |

Very little. I mean, I get the job done, but there are too many distractions at home.
I work in an environment where mobile phones are banned, Internet access is restricted and we only have a radio. At home I have all of the above and Netflix etc., not to mention the washing, the hoovering!
I have the luxury of choice, so I prefer to go into the office everyday |

I am very busy. I am in back to back Teams meetings 5 days a week.
I am rarely up out of my seat and I now suffer with periformis syndrome which gives me sciatica down my arse and backs of legs. I rarely am able to get up and stretch or walk about during the day.
I have to race to the loo, I infrequently get to make coffee for my boyfriend and he waits on me by bringing me drinks throughout the day.
On the plus side I no longer spend ages getting ready for work, no longer need the park & ride, am home when my son gets in from school, am able to have lunch and steal kisses from my boyfriend everyday, and have saved money.
My dad thinks that because I am home it means he can surprise visit me whenever he wants and announce his arrival triumphantly as I am in a meeting or starts chatting when I am in a meeting... my team are used to him now haha
My team members have found me to be more accessible, this is basically because they can instant message me when I am in meetings or call me when I am showing as available.
I am more productive by working from home as I am not flitting from meeting rooms and buildings and therefore am able to complete tasks and allocate work quicker.
Long may it continue

A lot to be honest.
That's not to say I'm perfect, sometimes I get dickstracted or seek to be and then I do absolutely nothing productive for the next ten minutes or so while I hunt for my wand.
Most of the time my feelings of guilt and internal competition are strong so I wake up at stupid o clock and log on and start checking emails, downloading the latest reports... all the fun stuff. I do enjoy it though, as much as I miss the hotel stays and seeing clients. |

My pooch tends to distract me through the day...he's become very needy since I began working from home, constantly wanting fussing or to go outside. It's very rare I only work my set hours though, I've just finished a call, after already doing more than my full 9-5 shift...the joys of being in a global team  |

I do a hell of a lot actually, more than when I was in the office. I get less distractions, less impromptu chats, less walking around chatting to others... All that ends up in me being quite unproductive, esp as I work in a large organisation. I can focus way more at home!
I do miss the social side of the office tho. |

When you work for yourself it's not like you get a choice. Literally just shut computer down.
Her ladyship is at home too and always busy in one meeting or another - though there is far too much laughter floating up the stairs for my liking, not happy my taxes get spent on her and colleagues giggling tbh

I'd love to work from home, especially now after the past couple of years I've had.
Guess it's down to trust & expectations of the employer, targets met, assignments completed.
Discipline on your part to do the work. I'm well disciplined but I'll be damned if I can find a WFH job!!  |
