I look presentable as I would (facially) if I did go in but I do no dress up, if I have to, its a “nice” stop and sweats on the bottom lol
I have been WFH full time since March 2020. We are now being told to go into the office one day a week. I love WFH, I have built a great routine here, I have my office upstairs and I come downstairs for lunch and breaks. I am miserable at the idea of going back to the office. I don't want to commute or pay for parking. I don't feel the need to see my co-workers in person. I don't see why we should have to go to the office if our productivity has not suffered and mine has not.I looked around a bit and decided to post here based on content of this thread...
Like many, I've been on WFH since March 2020--I started going in 1 day a week along with a few others but 90% of our HQ office is still 100% WFH. I hate the isolation of WFH...even though there's Zoom and I talk with people everyday it's just not the same as getting out into the world and being part of life.
Is anyone else tired of WFH? Anyone else feel this way?
I feel the same way! Commute into the city takes 1.5 hours each way and transit is not cheap. What a waste of time and I can't believe we used to spend so much time a day in transit! The return to work/office reopening for the company has been put on pause due the Omicron wave but hopefully they reconsider having people return!I have been WFH full time since March 2020.

I’ve never really liked wfh but I like the option, I think everyone should be able to wfh if they want, especially if it leaves the office empty for me and all the snacks on regular orderI looked around a bit and decided to post here based on content of this thread...

I read somewhere that wfh highlights who got their job thru merit vs favor and that still rings true IMHOTwo years in and I soooooooo do not care anymore about physical presence and work. I don’t even bother to turn on my camera when they ask in large meetings.
I do excellent work. I am leading and caring for my team. I am working long hours. This time remains a psychological drain so I’m not dressing up to appear in a Brady Bunch style video window to appease people who want to enforce the very silliest version of “face time.”
I would literally quit my job if my WFH status ever got snatched. Commute times, dry cleaning expense, lack of flexibility, etc. need to go the way of the do-do bird.
Leaders and workers need to develop new skill sets for an evolving world so they can lead and work productively without being in the same workspace. Global teams have done it for decades so no excuses. People who need socialization need to expand their personal lives and not create a “tax” in the workplace to get their fix.
Forcing people back into offices is akin to if companies forced us to write in cursive on paper in the 80’s because old guard leadership didn’t want / trust us to evolve and learn to use computers.
