Working from home is superior because it trades performative presence for actual outcomes. It eliminates the hidden tax of commuting, constant interruptions, and office logistics, returning that time and energy to focused work and faster delivery. It also widens access to talent, improves inclusion for people with caring responsibilities or disabilities, and reduces burnout by giving workers more control over their day. The office can be useful for specific moments, workshops, onboarding, relationship building, but as a default setting it’s an inefficient, expensive way to produce knowledge work compared with a well-run remote or hybrid model built around clear goals, good documentation, and intentional collaboration.
