Work from home does work better when you have daycare. The isolation of wfh gave me a lot of anxiety (other life problems factored in as well). I think a good balance is 1-2 days/wfh. Wfh degrades into work from coffeeshop.

If your meetings aren't productive there's definitely a problem in your org. I suspect meetings are being driven by those without a clear goal and intend to fill a whole hour talking. Just a hunch, thats some good ole internet armchair analysis for ya.

Long meetings are a symptom of a lack of planning imho.

"Long meetings are a symptom of a lack of planning imho."

Yes and a sympton of mgmnt/people(s) with too much time on their hands...and excess time manifests differently for some under WFH. They can't command and control as easily under WFH so what do?

In always say it depends on the meeting. I have a lot of meetings that are really working sessions, were we are constantly communicating and co-building. Those can take hours. That being said, there are generally bo more than 5 people on those types of menus

It's impossible to extrapolate what is best for everyone. Working from home is a great thing for me especially if they set core hours where everyone should be available for 4 to 5 hours a day. Trying to track down Morning Bob and Nighttime Nancy is a drag for us people who like 10am-6pm days :)
