Just curious, do you see a spike in your or your team's productivity? Do you see this 'work from home' as the next big thing?

#2My workplace has not yet required people to work from home (although they're talking about instituting this on Monday). But I know from experience that I personally tend to be about 25% less productive when I work from home, because I don't have a suitable work space.

#3People are worried, constantly checking the news and distracted because of it. It doesn't matter where they're working from, productivity is going down.

#4Quite a drop, actually. I'm away from all my equipment, my jury-rigged home office is suboptimal, and having family around that doesn't understand work boundaries is distracting.
Maybe with practice and investment, things would be better but having to do so suddenly like this, nope.

#5No. Not at all.
I just feel attached to my bed during work.
