Frontier Airlines CEO says the pandemic made workers 'lazy' and less productive: 'People are still allowing people to work from home, all this silliness, right?'
Does he have actual evidence that employees have become less productive or is this just things he personally feels out of the case.
We really need to stop reporting every time one of these idiots says something dumb otherwise we're just going to fill the front page with "another idiot CEO made another idiot CEO comment" posts
At best the studies show there’s not much difference between WFH and in an office. Some show an increase for one or the other but on average it’s the same.
Probably depends on the worker but in my case productivity is way up. I spend half the time I used to spend commuting still on the PC doing work, and I don't even mind since I can eat dinner and relax the second I close my computer. They get an extra eight hours out of me as a result of WFH.
The last study I heard on Planet Money stated there was a decrease in productivity overall, but it heavily depends on the person. If you cannot self-motivate then working from home is worse for productivity, but if you can, then you are more productive at home without all the distractions of an office.
