Wil's Rant

At least that's what their saying. It's not all that surprising that a person living in a metro area would like to not spend several hours everyday commuting. I was surprised to learn that at least for the two day period of the study, they're productivity actually increased. They say that this is due to the lack of distraction that they have in the office. However, the fact that the study lasted for only two days raises certain questions. Would the results quoted stay the same if the study had continued for a longer period, in other words, would the novelty have worn off? Second is the lack of interaction between employees. This type of interaction can lead to big breakthroughs in any field of study. Another point is the fact that there are people who actually work better with the support and input of the other staff, the type of person who enjoys social interaction. Myself, I'm a combination of both. Sometimes I like socializing, but most of the time I do not, something about being very busy and not having the time. It also has to do with the fact that I'm interested in so many things, that to spend any real time in these pursuits would be to do a disservice to the poor sap who would become quickly bored with the conversation. I think it might be very interesting to extend the study over a longer period, perhaps a year, and evaluate the results again.
