The appeal of working from home is no secret. No getting stuck in traffic or spending 30 minutes on a packed train, only to arrive at the office already tired. Instead, you’re in your pajamas next to your furry friend. And if you finish your work early, you can actually use that time to do laundry, vacuum the floors, or curl up on the couch with Netflix. Surely that beats killing time gossiping with coworkers.
But wait. Some of those conversations you were glad to escape may have been doing a job, too.
