Tale of the tape: Work-from-home vs. on-site work

Editor’s note: This article is a collaboration between TheNerve, a data consultancy company, and Rappler. The tweets scanned for this data story are publicly available. Usernames were also concealed to protect the identities of the Twitter users.

Looking into the timeline of conversations about WFH and return-to-office over the past year, both topics peaked in March 2022 when companies started to require RTO. Interestingly, positive sentiments about WFH had the highest peak during this period while tweets about problems with WFH dropped. If we only look at this alone, we would think that the answer is they prefer working from home. But we all know that there is more to the story, and the data can tell us that.

A soon-to-be mom tweeted that she wishes she could work remotely after giving birth so she could spend more than just 90 days of maternity leave with her newborn.We’ve seen Filipinos starting to explore working from anywhere and not just from home throughout the last couple of years, fully embracing the remote work life. Aside from workers being able to go back to their home province, traveling is also one thing that they gained more time for.

Aside from listening to more music, Filipinos also explored other interests while working from home like designing their desk spaces or learning about cryptocurrencies.However, along with the positive sentiments were tweets expressing discomfort about the WFH setup. They make up 19% of the conversations – not that far from the percentage of positive sentiments. What some consider as a pro of WFH – more control over one’s time – was a con for some.
