I don't think working overtime has much to do with WFH vs office for most people. We have a lot more WFH here since covid, and the only people I know that work a lot of overtime already did that before WFH was introduced.

For me, WFH means an hour more of free time, as I don't have to spend it in traffic on my way from and to work.

To be honest, WFH for me means that if they need me to fill an hour in extra or so per day, then that's kind of already costed in with travel times.

I've pulled 14 hour shifts covering for PTO or sick days and it really doesn't feel even half as exhausting as a normal in-office 8 hours.
