This was obvious. Actual work involves focusing. WFH encourages me to focus more. The office is a distracting and annoying place to be.
There's no need to use WFH as an acronym. Can we just stop using acronyms entirely at this point? I know I'm deviating from the point, but fuck acronyms!
I would normally agree with you, acronyms are way over used. But this is an article about working from home and returning to the office. There's nothing vague or unclear about WFH or RTO here in the slightest, and no one is going to confuse those for a different meaning.
what should we say instead?
Working from home?
And we can speed it up by using an initialism, like WFH!
Working remotely is a much better term. WFH implies that the employer gets to decide where the work gets done, which is completely unnecessary if the given work can be done remotely.
No, not really.
It's not an acronym. It's not pronounced "wuffuh" or whatever you're imagining. It's an initialism, and it's far more efficient than fully writing out "work from home."
one does wish you never get into a profession involving laser, or sonar, or scuba. or one where you woukd need to conduct an MRI or CT scan. or at a stock exchange with those stock tickers shortening themselves all over the place.
no malice meant, you see. it's just that your coworkers in such jobs would find interacting with you immensely tedious.
