Or working had become relentless and aggro filled, but some people can work from home. Things in my industry are twitchy and unstable. Work comes in Waves, overlaid with fits and starts unhinged peeks and troughs. Not like this ten years ago.

And is this "remote work mental health crisis" in the room with us, or was is it a delusion created by a rich person with real estate debt?

We’re supposed to believe corporations care about the mental health of their employees?

Okay, @forbes. The biggest shill for big business says remote work is bad... Lmfao Fail.

BS!

Funny, I’m happier than ever.

that's so interesting anything else happen during that time just curious

As usual, Forbes, your publication is full of shit. We all know that the mental health issues has to do with corporate / pedophile control of the government and companies. The abuses from the Epstein class are the real cause of the mental health crisis.

Hahahahahahaha hahahahaha get fucked, middle and upper management.

Absolutely came to say this. Pa-lease, they care about our mental health…

Not one medicine, but two... Because the first one helps a little but not enough. So we made this OTHER medicine that will help boost the first one.

Tax them

🎯

If you conduct the survey you can make the results say anything that you want if you phrase the questions correctly

Forbes? Go home. You're drunk.

Nice try Forbes, tell your masters to get bent

lol.

Corporatist propaganda.

I CALL BULLSHIT. Working remote is the only thing that has saved my sanity for the last 5 years.

My mental health has been worse because of COVID (Trump) and Trump supporters (Trump) and Trump (Trump). Working in an office full of people bitching about how Obama was ruining their lives was not the mental health salve these people think it was. Didn't need to hear the misogyny or the rest of it.

Choice is the key variable here. This isn’t a black or white issue. Remote work has been a great option for many workers and their companies ( less of a real estate foot print saves money). But, there are some people who don’t do well with the remote option. It’s another tool. 💙🍿🔥

Correlation does not equal causation

Brought to you by the firms that want you back at the office, authoritarianism is harder remotely 🤣

Doubting it. Your study probably interviewed men who can't handle working with children at home. GFY. You're such a letdown.

I don’t want to hear it. Remote is way better for families.

the deteriorating mental health is coming from the top. seriously

Bingo. Fuck the right.

People should have the choice. I found WFH best for me. Did my best work, 3 years at one company, never met my colleagues, never set foot in the office.

Fuck off, Forbes. The only people buying your bullshit are the people pushing the same bullshit.

Nobody who actually works in an office is buying this bullshit Forbes propaganda.

I expect for many it's not great. But that doesn't apply to everyone. Those with decent self-discipline skills can actually get a lot *more* done – and don't waste time and resources commuting.

🙄 Let me guess. Your corporate overlords insisted on this article. 😏

Did a vacant corporate office building write this?!

No.

Please note: To “leaders,” working-class happiness may appears as deteriorating mental health.

Read: "We found a sample of extroverts who crave human contact and office drama to counter the overwhelmingly popular practice of WFH. Come back into the office so we can monitor you for signs of independence. "

So they want to remove teleworking rights against our opinion but only to protect us. How nice from them 🥰🥰!!! 😡🤮

Bullshit Forbes!

Bullshit

The commercial real estate business is *really* putting in some effort now, eh?

Mental health issues are because the companies we all work for under pay and ruin society around us with price gouging and killing the planet. You want this propaganda so you can further the profits of office rentals and cost of driving to work every day. Fuck off Forbes.

What a crock

Now that it’s been proven productivity went up under Remote work conditions, Forbes has to make up other reasons to campaign against it.

More BULLCRAP from Corporate Headquarters

bsky.app/profile/upjo...

Indeed. Forcing somebody to drive up to 3 hours a day, wolf down their lunch in 25 minutes, and sit in their soulless cubicles for 9-10 hours a day doing things they could easily do from home is clearly for their own good, and not related at all to the sociopathic need of their bosses for control.

Nonsense

Next from Forbes: workers actually like working two jobs due to crappy wages.

🎯

They really think we're blind.

On the other hand, I was able to be at my kids’ bus stop EVERY DAY and their metal health is spectacular (and so is mine). This study is BS.

BULL-SHIT. Remote work PROVED that 90% of the levels of management are worthless; NOT that workers need to be stationed in 5x5 fabric covered cell.

Fuck right off!

🐂💩

1000% incorrect. Stop shilling for companies who are hemorrhaging money on their office leases cos they made a commitment to their employees during the pandemic.

Tax the rich!

That sounds like propaganda to me by corporate leaders.

The only concern “leaders” have is losing the tight leash.

And this a bull shit propaganda piece. Did Jamie Dimon commission this? He needs bodies back in office so his commercial portfolio doesn’t collapse. Don’t worry, AI will replace all the workers so no mental health problems further machines. www.forbes.com/sites/bryanr...

No, I'm saying the execs making these decisions are addicted to money and the power it provides. It has corrupted their minds and they want to gain back control (aka power) that they perceive to have lost. Money is a drug at a certain level of inequality, it's addictive and changes one's behavior.

Second this

did your research come from multiple surveys of your boss' rectum, or did you manage a decent sample size of at least 100 boss rectums?

Fuck you Forbes. You lying sack of capitalist shit...(Imma commie now)

Let’s talk about how the work behavior of an employee is the same in-office as at home since the company outsourced 2/3 of labor overseas to cut the cost of American salaries and benefits. All communications are zoom/email, but we’re sitting in half empty cube farms to justify office costs.

rent eating you alive while you're stuck commuting is real, and the people who set housing and labor policy should hear it. that's your state and local reps, mostly. two minutes: https://mydemocracy.app

B u l l s h i t The problem is not remote work. The problem is a lack of third spaces (and the ability of normal people to afford a night out once in a while) and community.

Translations: Our corporate overlords have decreed that we need to write a hit piece on remote work, so here it is.

so you're report says that price gouging during that same period is "not" contributing to a decline in people's mental health?

propaganda

Total propaganda! Must be the same research firms the oil & gas companies & tobacco companies hired to state their products don’t cause climate change, cancer and aren’t addictive.

That's some serious p-hacking. Is there a reverse version of the Fields Medal? That guy should take it 🤣

Deeply wrong and stupid

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Lol, nice try

I've been working from home for 14 years. My mental health is fine. I don't have to deal with noise, coworkers wanting to chat, inter office politics. None of it. I feel great.

Ah yes, thank you…Forbes. I’m sure your research was thorough and fair and not in any way catered to the obvious desires of your longtime audience. Up Next: Cat Fancy magazine publishes research that suggests dogs may spread far more diseases than cats do.

Bullshit. Leadership are the only control freaks that prefer in the office to remote. Forbes is full of shit

Ratio’d quite appropriately…

Of course this is the take from Forbes. They appeal to the C suite crowd who wants everyone back in the office on justify their sky high leases that they can't get out of. Going into an office to sit on Teams meetings is absurd yet that's what they want us to do.

Spent many years working alone and has been some of the best times of working.

This is some epic bullshit not the least of which being that mandatory in-office mandates are inherently ableist because they treat a specific physical environment as a prerequisite for capability.

It’s only a downside for non-introverts. I’ve been working from home for well over a decade and I have thrived, both professionally and mentally because I don’t have to spend half my life in situations where other people can approach m, interrupt me, or be around me without my consent.

🤣

Really??? I loved working at home, and I was much more productive.

It was probably the noticable rise and acceptance of racism and sexism and greed as well as social media > working from home.

Disagree

Hmm… the pro-business paper posts a pro-business set of research that supports the position of… business. Weird! The funny thing is, #WFH would ultimately be better for the companies too. Their footprints (and thus expenses) would shrink. But they don’t care. 🤷🏽 BACK TO WORK!

Yeah, that two hours a day in bumper-to-bumper traffic really helps one's mental health. I barely feel psychotic at all without it.

Work from home would be amazing. Unfortunately I am in a job that I won't ever have that option and if I could transition to a work from home job, you bet your ass I'd jump at it.

Let's not forget that Forbes is the mouthpiece of big money and corporate greed. That said, I would advise taking their word on remote work with about a pound of salt.🤔

"speculation" is not the word I would have used.

BS

Love this great work of fiction! Amazing job!

You can sit this one out lads. The greedy, evil cunts you venerate and worship paying poverty wages are what screws people's mental health, not working from home.

It seems more often that it's so they can pawn off their own duties on their employees and remote work doesn't give them that. Finding a boss that actually cares to that level is very rare. This opinion piece is obviously biased.

Brought to you by company leaders who want the workers back in and on the grindstone. Funnily most people i meet who work from home love it.

Written for and by the 1% that do not want you to have a life. "Get back to work so I can live better!"

fortune.com/2025/08/12/c... Fuck off

I’m sure glad to see I’m in agreement with the comments on here. Be interesting if he’d share some of this fantastic “insight” about the drawbacks of returning to the office.

Pure propaganda! So-called leaders are paranoid sociopaths who obsess over squeezing everything they can from people. It's part of the panopticon plan to know where everyone is at all times. Very much like Winston Smith and his hapless neighbour who ended up being turned in by his own children.

Forbes saves me a bunch of time. Whenever I want to know what Fox News thinks, I just read it here first.

I call bs. I've worked from home for decades and wouldn't change a thing

Beyond the obvious bullshit, linking to a paywalled article is a sublime cherry on top.

Who performed and verified said research exactly, corporate CEOs and their board members?

You mean it's not because corporations are treating people like shit?

As opposed to before when work was a major contributor to deterioration. Could Forbes be a more obvious corporate propaganda tool?

Yeah, it’s definitely that and not the soggy orange television host destabilizing western democracy and looting the richest country in human history as he enables capitalism to become feudalism because his dad didn’t love him.

If you forgot who Forbes was meant for.
