    People work from home in their bed? I’ve been doing this for a decade and a half now. I don’t think I’ve worked from my bed once. Now I have a dedicated office but when I didn’t I, you know, made a small surface my desk area and brought in a chair.

    Regardless, it’s propaganda of a sort. For sure.

        If you ever start wondering why it’s hard to sleep, you might have your answer right here.

      I was WFH for about a decade too. I didn’t work from my bed, but I sure as hell took meetings that I didn’t really need to be in, or was more of a passive participant in, from bed. Always close to my computer (on the same floor) so I could get back if I needed something, but those were the best useless meetings.

      But I don’t get how this is propaganda. It’s not suggesting that people RTO, it’s saying they should not work in bed because it will hurt their sleep. The whole “RTO” part of this was spin put on it by the submitter. So, I guess, on second thought, maybe you are right.

        Why I think it probably is a form of propaganda, is purely because the headline says Working from home is causing it. If they didn’t want to front-load a negative view of WFH the headline would be “Working from bed unhealthy” or similar.

      Same, about a decade for me too, and never worked from my bed once.

      If I’m tinkering with something, I might sit on the sofa or lie in bed for half an hour, but no way would I work from bed. Sounds like a sore neck waiting to happen…

      I do if I’m feeling under the weather. I have a bed that can be raised into a seated position so that’s nice. I prefer my desk when I’m doing more mentally intensive work though.

      I FREQUENTLY work from bed, specially at night when I’m watching both TV and some script I wrote do it’s thing. I made myself a custom headboard that is outrageously comfortable for working upright.
