My parents currently are facing this same problem at their 9-5 jobs as well. They’re realizing that the work day is more productive and decisions get made more when everyone is in the office. I don’t think, like the article suggests, that it’s too late to go back to the way it was back in 2019 before COVID. However, I do see why everyone is so afraid to go back to a full time workweek schedule. Nowadays people have considered themselves even better at multitasking because working from home doesn’t necessarily mean someone is sitting at their desk at home from 9-5 everyday. My internship this past summer was all remote, I had no office to go into and I really struggled to focus on work and keep myself motivated. I can see how for some people this may be beneficial to their working style, but when it comes to television and film, where fast paced decisions are made hourly, I think it’s important that the work schedule starts to get rid of working from home, for the sake of the productions.
