For us autistic people it’s pretty much lifesaving.

Also lifesaving for the parents of autistic kids and autistic kids themselves, especially those who have school trauma and can’t attend in-person.

I think what everyone is trying to say is the best perk of wfh is not having to do the job that you get paid to do.

And this belief is why many companies are forcing their people to return to the office.

Going barefoot. Having my dog nearby, and popping out for quick walks with her. Sunshine. A calm working environment. Being able to meditate if I need or want. Better managing my mental health. Saving money on gas and lunches. Knowing I've done my best work with fewer mistakes. No stress from driving in traffic. Much quicker trips to the doctor, vet or whatever. Sitting outside and working when the weather permits. More time for living life. I could go on and on...

Wearing slippers at my desk. It’s a small comfort that I absolutely used to do (discretely) under my desk back when I worked in an office, but definitely a perk for wfh. I don’t miss struggling with uncomfortable shoes/heels or being on my feet all day.

At first I thought, “you’re right, thank goodness no one can hear me go to the bathroom,” but then I looked down and saw the three cats and a dog who are my bathroom attendants these days, and… maybe that office bathroom isn’t so bad 😭
