Is anyone actually hitting the so-called "work from home productivity targets"?
I’ve been seeing a ton of posts and articles claiming remote workers are even more productive than in-office employees. Meanwhile, every company I know seems to be introducing new tracking software, more micro-management, and ever-increasing goals for remote teams. Feels like there’s a disconnect between the hype and reality.
For those who’ve been working remotely long-term (not just pandemic newbies), are you genuinely meeting all your stated targets, or are expectations being quietly ratcheted up? How much is real productivity vs. looking busy for metrics? Has “flexibility” just translated to more pressure? Curious to hear honest takes from people who’ve actually tried to push back or renegotiate targets.
