Did WFH for 2 years, was very refreshing getting back to the office.

The only thing I dislike about my office is the commute. I love the folks I work with and it's a fun environment.
My commute is 10 minutes and the office environment is very lax. It's not all that uncommon to walk into a co-workers office on Friday afternoon and they are sipping on a beer

I’ve been remote for 15+ years and love it. There have definitely been periods where I really had to recognize that I needed to get out and socialize, but by and large I am very happy with WFH.
That said, my office, if I were to go in, is an hour and a half from my home. It’s a major pain in the arse to head in. I think I’d feel much differently if my office were, ya know, 15-20mins up the road. It’s far more the commute I hate than actual working in the office.

I went from being in the field(refineries/chem plants) for 23 years to the corporate office and I have zero desire to ever go back.

We don't. We're all dead.
How do you survive being so damn lazy?

I preferred it, since I had access to all printing production equipment, storage for field equipment, high speed internet, and a dedicated place to repair or prep equipment.

This. I think most work from home types are low-productivity workers doing low-effort jobs that will be amongst those first replaced by AI.

I get that, but I'm productive and peaceful in my home office as well. The added bonus of shitting on my own toilet and not having my coworkers interrupt my day with stupid small talk is massive for me.

Works good when you can stock your own pond, just don't ever fish in it.

I prefer the office. I work remote on occasion and it’s not really my thing. After a week, I’d be bored. I’m not even a “people person,” either. I do hate the commute, so no commute is a plus for remote.

Actually, it applies directly to me and you don’t like it.
quote:Nope which is why you're off base here.
You think everyone working from home worked in an office prior to COVID or something.
quote:Yes, and my statement had nothing to do with those people.
There are tons of wfh jobs that have never required someone to work at an office.
I do feel for your employer and hope your job does not require thinking.

Like an aquarium, look with your eyes and not not your hands. Pretty fish but they are venomous.

I couldn’t stand the cube life. Having an actual office is better. I figured out I could tell them I was going to visit projects and could just leave. Now I drive to a few job sites, hang out, go home, workout, etc. As long as I answer the phone and make sure the paperwork is good nobody bothers me. The only way I’m leaving is if they run me off. I wont even apply for promotions

I'm fortunate to have had my wild and crazy guy days before the advent of(widespread,) cell phones and the internet, also back in the days where we hired flight attendants(females,) that you'd actually consider having sex with

I'm 3 months into my fully remote position.
There are certainly negative and positives.
Positives:
- morning walks while on meetings
- workouts are easier to schedule
- middle of day sex with wife (she is a SAHM)
- no commute
- I can be both productive at home and at work during the day
- Productivity at work has not suffered
- I can make nice/fresh lunches
Negatives:
- I like talking to other people than my wife sometimes
- It has been difficult getting plugged in as a new employee being remote
- I sometimes don't know what I'm supposed to be doing and am afraid to get up from my computer because I'm afraid people are going to think I'm not working
- I currently don't have an office space and WFH with kids at home sucks (the Christmas break was rough)
Overall I'm enjoying it, but its not without its challenges.
