Working from home ‘makes you depressed’

33pc of the increase in mental distress since 2020 can be explained by remote working, new report says

Working from home makes you depressed, according to a new report from US economists.

Once again, basic math debunks most b.s. claims. 😜

Let 3/3 = total remote workers

- 1/3 (remote workers depressed)

= 3/3 -1/3

= 2/3 (remote workers not depressed)

Soooooo, most remote workers aren't depressed, only a minority need to RTO*

Personally, I felt more depressed when my remote job ended and the cash flow stopped. 😁

How about you?

You posted a photo of a snare drum in your OP about working from home. I just wondered why.

I Googled 'Why did SiSIPuerda put a snare drum photo on his OP', but it did not know.

You said, in capital letters that my simple question was off topic. What's is the reference to Bluegrass Music to do with working from home? Please!

The report you quoted said that 33% oof the INCREASE in mental distress ....etc, not 33% of those who do work from home.
