The debate around where employees work has taken on a new dimension, with productivity often becoming the main point of discussion. While some see the office as an important part of their work routine, others feel they can manage their tasks better from home. A recent Instagram post by a Mumbai woman has added a personal perspective to that conversation.Taashi Thukral, who works in marketing, has shared why she feels being at home allows her to move through her workday faster. Her comments have also prompted social media users to share what works for them.
Taashi Thukral shares her view
In an Instagram video, Thukral described her opinion as her “corporate hot take” and questioned the connection between office attendance and productivity.She said, “My corporate hot take is that I don’t think that working from office has anything to do with how productive of a day you’re having or how much work you get done. If anything, I think working from office is way slower than actually working from home. And yeah, I said what I said.”Her main comparison is based on the pace at which she feels she can complete her work. She said working from an office feels slower to her than working from home.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.
‘As long as I get the work done’
Thukral further explained her position in the caption of the video. She stressed that her comments come from her own experience rather than being a general opinion about every workplace.She wrote, “Sorry, but we’re in 2026, and as long as I get the work done, I don’t think it should matter where I do it from. PS: I work in marketing. My POVs are from my personal experience, so live and let live.”The caption sums up the point she wanted to make: completing the work matters more to her than the location from which it is done.
Users share their experiences
The post also drew comments from people who said they felt similarly about working from home.One user wrote, “WFH is definitely more productive for me.”Another commented, “Office distractions are seriously underrated.”A third user said, “WFH saves so much time and energy.”Another simply responded, “This is very true.”
One post, different workplace views
The reactions show that people can have very different experiences with the same work setup. While Thukral prefers working from home based on her experience, the users responding to her post highlighted productivity, distractions, and the time and energy involved in their own routines.Her Instagram post has therefore become another entry in the ongoing discussion about how employees view office work and WFH, with the conversation ultimately coming back to a simple question: does the place of work matter if the job gets done?Disclaimer: This article is based on a social media post and the information shared by the user.
