Do you enjoy work from home ?

i didn't like it at first because im a social person and i missed my work friends. i missed going to lunch with them. i missed bsing during the work day with coworkers. i missed going for happy hour.

fast forward about 6 months and i was used it it. my closest friends from work i see a couple times a month. we get food and beers or go boating in the summer.

the extra family time is great! i no longer have to drive an hour each way to and from work. that gives me extra time with my family. and i can help out around the house or with the kids.

overall, i enjoy the freedom and the professionalism of working from home. and one of the best parts? no longer do i get people coming to my desk and standing there waiting for me to finish up what im working on to talk to me about something that should be an email or a service request or a change request! 😉

it's been over 3 years now and i would not change it for anything. im not going back into the office.

Fair! There are definitely pros and cons in it ! But being at home too much time also freaking out 😅

I’ve always worked from home. The main downside, there’s a lot of workplace harassment, and every hire is based on nepotism. Also, the secretary keeps making eyes at me.

have you filed a complaint with yourself?

Unfortunately, I don’t have an in with the HR department anymore. I said their biscuits and gravy weren’t like moms, and all of a sudden I’m the bad guy.

Agree with this! I’ve been doing the remote thing for 12ish years now and I would never go back. I used to commute 4 hrs to meet clients for a 1 hour meeting. Insane. That was before I had Mr e. Can’t imagine wasting so many hours in a car daily. I respect ppl who have to but glad the alternative working scenarios have become possible in certain industries. But that said, shared work spaces, coffee shops and restaurants to work and mix it up are good too!

during most of the school year last year, i would take our daughter to school in the mornings. every Wednesday i would stop by a coffee shop on the way home. i would get a cup or two of coffee and work for a couple of hours just to break up my day and the week a bit. i really enjoyed doing that.
