I don't think there is any evidence to that effect if anything the 2 or 3 big scientific surveys show the opposite effect, a slight increase in happiness.

No worries, here is some background too: https://www.businessinsider.com/study-says-remote-workers-ar...

didn't know that. Sorry for spreading misinformation, I heard a lot that remote workers are more lonely and thought that it means they are less happy

Maybe for single people. For us with spouses and kids it's never lonely.

Surely that depends on the person. There is a lot more competition for remote work than regular jobs.

I think it clearly does.

Personally, if I'm working as part of a team, I'm much happier and substantially more productive if I'm working in the same physical space as the rest of the team.

But I also know people who are exactly the opposite of me on that count.
