I was always well prepared for work from home.
I had a desk since ages and optimized my sitting area for work or surfing purposes.
I am loving the work from home, especially since it is raining these days over here.
I really can’t be arsed to go back to work, and be pretentiously nice to folks I generally wouldn’t want to talk to. It is now confined to calls and that helps my sanity.
Love the hour long afternoon nap as well.
The amount of money I am saving on fuel, commute, vehicle maintenance, food, attire etc. is significant.
And most importantly, I am saving time which would have been wasted on commute, which is around 2 hours a day. I am making sure I am using that time to learn Spanish and a new skill.
Everyone has a different story around WFH. I think in office jobs like IT we should get to decide what’s best for ourselves. Going in or not should be an open choice for a year at least. So long as there’s office space and maintenance a “come in if you like” approach is best IMO.
What’s annoying is when managers think their own decision to come in should determine their teams decision…
I was very anti working from home but now I’ve done it a year I like it a lot. In the video its said we all have our new routines now which I do haha and a massive percentage don’t want to do 5 days a week in the office again which I don’t.
Our work is letting us do flexi if we want when they finally reopen. For me a 3-2 split of the week would be absolutely perfect as its the best of both sides as I don’t want to fully commit to one
I already do a 4-1 and I love it as it splits the week into two halfs Monday Tuesday and Thursday Friday
I’m starting to really hate 5 days WFH a week. I woke up this morning and one of the first things I saw was my office, and even on a Saturday thats immediately set my mind racing about 101 things going on at work that I’d really rather not think about at 8am on a Saturday morning.
My job has gone full WFH even leaving aside the pandemic, with the plan being to go into the central London Head office once a month, but probably no more than that.
Even as an introvert, its getting to be too much for me lol, I need to be around some people again. If the next job I get is fully WFH then I’m gonna have to look into some sort of shared working space a couple days a week just to get out and about and give me and my other half a little bit of space from each other lol
I was talking to my mates last night and they’re going mental, I personally couldn’t handle this lockdown and working from home. Mentally it would fucking destroy me.
Feel lucky I have some routine where I leave the house for 8 hours.
