Very few people ask the question, how much of the remote work productivity drop is actually bad? And how much of the depression and anxiety is related to unreasonable expectations set during the pandemic and the resulting burnout? In the first year or so, as people adjusted to the pandemic, they worked more and slowly that became the norm.
If now people are less productive, are they working less than they did pre pandemic or is the curve coming down to normal? And what percentage of these unproductive workers is because of burnout and unreasonable expectations?
