35 Employees Share Unspoken Perks Of Working Remotely

It’s no secret—remote work is just better. Research backs it up. A Stanford study found that remote workers are 13% more productive than those in an office. A Gallup survey reported that 91% of remote employees want to keep working from home, citing better work-life balance, fewer distractions, and less burnout.

And let’s be real—who wouldn’t want to skip the daily commute, avoid office drama, and take an actual lunch break instead of inhaling a sad desk salad? Remote jobs allow people to work in sweatpants, control their own schedules, and actually get things done without a coworker randomly stopping by to “circle back” on something pointless.

A recent Threads discussion asked remote workers to share the best perks of working from home, and the responses prove what we all already knew—office life just can’t compete.

Here are some of the unspoken perks of working remotely.
