WFH sucks. Let's bring back 2019 work life
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 13th, 2022 10:14 AM Author: Magical pozpig I hate working from home. I've gotten lazy and anti-social. It feels like I wake up, go to the next room, work, log off, go back to the next room, rinse and repeat. I don't feel like myself and feel very emotionless.
I'm having a hard time caring about colleagues whom I meet only virtually across the country that I'll probably never meet in person. I'm even considering leaving tech completely at some point now and becoming a pilot just to break out of this mundane existence.. any words of wisdom or advice would be appreciated.
PS before you comment that I suck and it's my fault for not liking remote work, or how great remote work is, understand that everyone's situation is different. I get that remote work is great if you have a family or if you had a terribly long commute or just don't really enjoy being around others. Not everyone has a strong support system or enjoys working from home so please respect my own experience. I'm not trying to get into a debate about why remote work is good or bad, only that it's not for me.

Date: August 15th, 2022 11:10 PM Author: Magical pozpig The people promoting WFH don't realize that it is making them isolated and depressed.
They forget what it's like to make friends with their colleagues and chat about weekend plans over lunch.
They also forget the benefits of impromptu 1:1s and pair programming. I can't count the number of times I've spent hours stuck on a problem that a 30 minute in-person chat with a senior would've fixed.
Finally, WFH is destroying downtown businesses and making those areas sleepy. People used to be energized by the hustle and bustle of downtown, cars and people everywhere etc
No more remote work. No more hybrid. Companies needs to mandate 5 days in office to get us back to normal. |

i'm not giving up my walks with my family, hanging out with babydood, putting my daughter on the bus, greeting her when she comes back, handling house errands as they arise, talking to my neighbor over the fence, taking work calls from my yard, having all my meals be fresh and home cooked, randomly banging my wife as a break in the day, taking a shower in the middle of the day, taking a nap when i feel like. no. WE'RE NOT GOING BACK. |
