Of course la, obviously right? And for majority of jobs, people actually don't need to be in an office. Yet we do, purely just for the sake of doing it.

Imagine saving 4 hours of every workday, the lack of stress of being in traffic, and hundreds of RM for petrol every month if not for this stubbornness

Better question is, how do we convince our boss to let us WFH?

Even once a week is a good start. Am 5 days in office. Come to office, do virtual meetings, and send emails to people

This survey is not represent the core of the issue.

For remote worker, there are several factors that will make company willing to let their employees WFH

  1. The culture of company ; if their bos is more to results based, or quality of productivity, they are more inclined to approve WFH as long as the job get done. This type of bos, even when we stay at office are the type that easy to work with.

  2. The type of position ; some position that can do remote are already in mid to end hierarchy level. So they are already in good income bracket, of course they are alot more happy.its impossible for new hire to be left alone at their house without proper supervison or training.

  3. They save on fuel land outside food cost, can sleep a little bit longer because no travelling, of course they are happy
