A.k.a: “Things you can do when you work at home, that you can’t do in a cubicle.”
Such as take a few minutes and get some aerobic exercise when things are slow, or when you’re waiting for data to process/load/index. When you work in a cube, your coworkers might not appreciate that. 😉

According to research from Office Team, 63% of senior managers said their company is “very supportive of their staff’s efforts to achieve work-life balance.” However, only 34% of employees agreed with this statement.

The issue in mid-2021 is that there are a lot of people who have found ways to balance that suits them, and they are all a little different. So, after a year of figuring out the best way to handle our work and personal lives, individually, companies are forcing everyone back into the same template. The flexibility we had to find what works best for us as an individual, is gone. We all have to adjust back to whatever works for the CEO making this decision, as opposed to what works for us as individuals.
It’s hard to imagine that there are so many managers and executives who don’t understand this. Or maybe they just don’t care?

I have an elliptical trainer in my home office, and it *is* nice to have something I can hop on for 5 minutes right next to my desk.
