WFH
Office at home
WFH is an abbreviation for "work from home," describing remote employment arrangements where someone does their job from their residence rather than commuting to an office: I've been WFH since the pandemic started.
The term became ubiquitous in the 2020s as remote work expanded dramatically.
It functions as both noun and adjective: a WFH policy, going WFH permanently.
