The results point towards the fatigue that is slowly settling in among employees who've now been working from home for months. Employees have reported working longer hours while working from home, and taking fewer breaks. There is also a lot less casual human interaction between colleagues, and fewer informal interactions which can help relieve stress. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had cautioned against this all the way back in May. "What does burnout look like? What does mental health look like? What does that connectivity and the community building look like? One of the things I feel is, hey, maybe we are burning some of the social capital we built up in this phase where we are all working remote. What's the measure for that?" he'd said in an interview. His views were echoed by Netflix's Reed Hastings, who had called remote work 'a pure negative.' "Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative. I've been super impressed at people's sacrifices," he'd said.
