Reading: Many experts argue that remote work significantly boosts employee productivity. Studies show that employees working from home complete 13% more tasks, report higher job satisfaction, and experience fewer interruptions than office workers. Additionally, remote work saves commuting time, which employees can redirect to productive tasks. Companies also benefit from reduced overhead costs. Lecture (summary): The professor challenges the reading's claims. First, the 13% productivity increase was measured only for routine, individual tasks — collaborative and creative work actually declined by 20%. Second, job satisfaction surveys were taken during the first six months; follow-up studies at 18 months showed increased feelings of isolation and burnout. Third, the cost savings were offset by increased IT infrastructure and cybersecurity expenses.
