I survive by holding out hope that I get a WFH role one day. Working my arse off to get the experience required for a more technical role in my field that is mostly remote.

I don’t see how people work from home. I did that for a while and never again if at all possible.

I was on an Abrams tank for over 20 years, so I was always outside. Except for 3 years when I was voluntold to be an Army Recruiter for 3 years. Those 3 years working out of an office were really hard for me.
I'd rather be outside breathing fresh air and dealing with the elements. It's my belief that humans weren't designed to be trapped inside 4 walls for most of their lives.

I’ve WFH for eight years now. It’s been fantastic for me and my family.
But man, if you really can’t see the pros of being in an office environment and the cons of working from home, you’re not really honestly assessing either.

It is peaceful and productive. I like the separation from my personal space.
I worked at home exclusively from early 2023 to early 2025. Since then I have split time between working from home an my office in Bham. The key to working from home (at least for me) is to have an actual office set up in your home. What I did was take a spare room upstairs and set it up as an office with everything I need to be productive, bai ally a desk, docking station, dual monitors, and a printer for the rare occasions when I need to actually print a physical copy of something.
Doing it this way allows me to lock in on work. When I go in there and close the door, I’m at work. I get as much or more done there than I do in Bham. The only difference is I’m wearing gym shorts, -to shirt and flip-flops and my commute consists of walking upstairs instead of driving 40 minutes in rush hour traffic.
I still work from home most days unless I’m traveling for business or have face to face meetings in Bham. I usually average no more than 1 to 2 days in Bham a week.

Actually, it applies directly to me and you don’t like it. This thread is about working from home. You think everyone working from home worked in an office prior to COVID or something. That’s not the case. There are tons of wfh jobs that have never required someone to work at an office. Your low IQ position requires you to go into an office because they don’t trust you to do your job without supervision. And, you’re still commuting. You’re still having to “get ready for work” for your in-person position which means you have to get up earlier.

I can largely work from home unless I have meetings or don't want to do Teams calls from the house, but I still go in 3-4 days a week.
If you work in some bureaucratic cube with birthday celebrations and people bugging you and office drama, I get it. But I don't have that stuff and like the separation.
I like being able to work from home a couple hours when I want to get something done before heading in, or vice versa. Ideal setup IMO.

This. Work should be seperated.
Is the OP a BabyTac alter?

I’ve worked remotely since 2011, with 1 year in office in 2016.
I would be okay with a hybrid schedule, but that does take away a key perk from remote working, which is the ability to live wherever you want.
Currently, I visit clients occasionally when I have projects going on, and we get together as a team quarterly. I enjoy that dynamic.
That makes sense. It's that way for the fiance, he could work pretty much from anywhere at this point in the US.
I have some clients that just don't do well via telehealth, so I need at least one day in the office unless I restrict who I'm working with.
On the upside, my office is less than 10 minutes drive from my house in traffic. So it's not a terrible trek. And I set my schedule, so I'm not going in or coming home during rush hour.

I worked remote from March of 2020 to 2025 when my company forced us back in. It’s a complete waste of my time as I’m going in to be on Teams calls and conduct other business via phone calls and emails as my team and stakeholders are scattered across five states. Not to mention, having to use disgusting bathrooms and break rooms to warm up lunch. The old live to work crowd can’t exit the work force fast enough.

I actually think WFH is a negative for new employees. No way would I have settled in at my new job being 100% remote.
This a sign of poor leadership and shite teammates, not WFH induced.

This comment about me describes my job best.
President comes by my staff “Where’s Ray?”
“Last we saw him, he had a hard hat in one hand, steel toed boots in the other, headed to Oklahoma and muttering something about a damned wind farm.” “You can reach him at the airport until his flight leaves at 10:AM.

The same people who frick off at home will frick off in the office too. I can tell you there’s been zero productivity improvement in the slackers since my company forced us back in.

When I was WFH in COV, it was shocking how my "drive to work" became my "walk upstairs"...the act of going to a different portion of the house had to become the separation for me to flip the switch from personal to professional mode.

This is mostly true, but it’s easier to make people do shite when they’re right in front of you in an office.
