When I initially became disabled, I tried to keep working desperately. I spent a couple of months working from bed before I had to give up.

Just an anecdote. Most people don’t actually work from bed.

I once worked from my bed while I had a mild cold. Had a meeting with many international colleagues from all over Europe. I fell asleep. Luckily I had my camera and mic off. And it was about interfacing with SAP which I needed no help with.

I did it on the sofa, was pretty much the same

My sister…

I read this article the other day and tried working from my bed but couldn’t do it for more than maybe 15 mins.

I mean if our zoning wasn’t so overly strict, those real estate holders could cash in on enormous rent prices by transforming that commercial space into apartments.

Then there would be more housing supply, rents would go down, homelessness would improve, and those real estate holders would be able to get back to making profit, and there’d be less lying about the pros and cons of working from home.

All of it could be better, through the mechanism of consensual mutual profit that we call the free market. If only the government weren’t constantly enforcing largely arbitrary rules about how this block can house people but that block can only be for offices.

Keeping rendering plants away from preschools is fine. Arbitrarily telling people they can’t put beds and kitchens into a commercial space and let people live there is not.

There’s profit being lost AND people going homeless because there is a third party constantly preventing us from making the deals that mutually improve our lives.

And they’ve convinced you the real estate owners are the evil ones.

I’m betting it’s better for more people as well. Eat healthier, take more breaks, move around more as well.

This article isn’t about wfh vs office. It’s about not working in bed so you don’t disrupt your sleep.

It’s amazing how many people who see “propaganda” everywhere can’t see blatant spin when all of the evidence is right in front of them.

I was WFH for about a decade too. I didn’t work from my bed, but I sure as hell took meetings that I didn’t really need to be in, or was more of a passive participant in, from bed. Always close to my computer (on the same floor) so I could get back if I needed something, but those were the best useless meetings.

But I don’t get how this is propaganda. It’s not suggesting that people RTO, it’s saying they should not work in bed because it will hurt their sleep. The whole “RTO” part of this was spin put on it by the submitter. So, I guess, on second thought, maybe you are right.

Working from bed rn.

It’s great.

Same, about a decade for me too, and never worked from my bed once.

If I’m tinkering with something, I might sit on the sofa or lie in bed for half an hour, but no way would I work from bed. Sounds like a sore neck waiting to happen…

I do if I’m feeling under the weather. I have a bed that can be raised into a seated position so that’s nice. I prefer my desk when I’m doing more mentally intensive work though.

I FREQUENTLY work from bed, specially at night when I’m watching both TV and some script I wrote do it’s thing. I made myself a custom headboard that is outrageously comfortable for working upright.

I have definitely answered work emails like that
