I struggled with this for a long time, until a company that I gave my heart to and sacrificed my mental health for laid our entire department off so they could hire cheap labor offshore. They don't give a fuck about you. Take all of the time off.
Can we talk about the guilt that comes with calling in sick at work? 😭

This. I do understand some ppl do not have social interactions beyond their coworkers. And to these people I say: find a hobby, call a friend, go for a walk, take fun classes,... Please work CANNOT be the only way to have a social life
I hate the “WFH is depressing” talk. What’s actually depressing is 2 unpaid hours of commuting every day, getting home already exhausted, and having 4 hours left for cooking, sleeping, and getting ready to do it all again.

I had a WFH gig when I lived alone in a 1-bed apartment and I can't begin to tell you how happy I was.
Modest counterpoint. People with kids and vibrant home lives and community don't have any need to be in the office 5 days a week.

Your employer doesn't care about you. You're a row on a spreadsheet, and someday someone in finance is going to highlight it. I watched it happen to the best salesperson I've ever worked with. She was the top producer in the history of my last company. Fourteen years there, President's Club every single year. Then the company got acquired. The new management didn't like how much she made or how much freedom she had. They made her life miserable until she quit, then replaced her with a few younger reps who were cheaper and did what they were told. Nobody is coming to save you, and the company definitely isn't handing you a golden parachute. So you build your own. Keep your costs low, invest the difference, and get to the point where their spreadsheet can't touch your life.

Keep seeing chatter about WFH vs going into the office. Went into the office today for the first time in a few months, fuck me, completely forgot the waste of time travelling, the noise of everyone on teams calls and how much money you spend on shit. 🚮

Solo hay tres tipos de personas que quieren el trabajo presencial: 1. Personas que no aguantan a sus familias 2. Jefes (me niego a llamarlos personas) que les gusta el poder de mandar y esclavizar 3. Rentista con inversiones en oficinas que se vacían con la gente teletrabajando

Office people will never shut the fuck up about people who WFH while people who WFH do not give a single fuck about people who go to the office.
This may sound harsh, but I feel like this push that working in office is better than WFH is done entirely by people who have no lives or social circles outside their jobs.

Otro que solo tiene amigos si son en la oficina. A mi me puedes dar comida, me puedes poner un pin pon me puedes poner al rey de españa aparcandome el coche todos los días que prefiero currar en casa.
Hot take: Al 90% de la gente a la que le mola el full remote es porque nunca han vivido una “cultura corporativa” decente. Nadie, en un estado natural (no depresivo), desearía pasar la mayor parte del día solo. Yo he tenido la suerte de caer en sitios bastante buenos donde no tenías que llevar tu tupper ni pagar la comida, donde la gente eran buenos chavales y listos que daba gusto sentarte con ellos a comer, donde podías entrenar, un par de días de teletrabajo, y donde no te obligaban a comerle nada a nadie para poder subir. Vaya, una empresa funcional. El problema es que hemos normalizado el modelo charca de los afterwork obligados, comida de tupper recalentada y convertir tu vida en el entorno laboral para que, cuando tu persona desaparezca, no te quede más que el trabajo. Ese es el fin último de esas culturas… Como digo, ni es sano eso ni creo que sea sano un full remote. Como se suele decir, los extremos son malos… chavales, buscar un sitio sano, decente, donde se vaya a trabajar y si por el camino nacen amistades, adelante. Pero existen. No os encerréis en una habitación

If you people force us back into office and cost me the peace I enjoy WFH, and the freedom is gives me to actually have a life because I'm not using my entire social battery at the office, I'm going to bite all of you. I'M HAPPIER THAN I EVER WAS IN OFFICE, LEAVE ME ALONE.
We spend way too much time in our apartments and it's making everyone anxious and depressed. Bring back the office, bring back the office romances, bring back the annoying coworkers, bring back the post-work happy hours. You're not depressed. You're just under-socialized!

Casi 7 años llevo yo 100% remoto y no vuelvo a una oficina ni loco
3 meses y pico tele trabajando 100% y es que no le veo ni una sola desventaja. Ni una. No necesito socializar en la oficina, para eso tengo a mi gente. Madrugo menos. Como bien. Hago cosas en los descansos que me permiten liberarme las tardes.

More than a theory because why would you be so against being in your own home? And most of all why are you making it everyone else's problem?
I have a rather dodgy theory that those who hate WFH need an excuse to be outside of their home because there’s something or someone they dislike/regret/hate.

My strongest “vibes not evidence” belief is that remote work is a cancer that’s making (most) people miserable even though it seems better in the short term.

This is so horrible to watch! I hope Mark Allen gets to a place where he feels much better than we see here. Ps well done to the interviewer, the compassion she showed here was first class, the hug at the end was what Mark looked like he needed, kudos to her ❤️
This is heartbreaking to watch 🥺💔 Mark Allen admits he may never play snooker again. We’re all rooting for you, Mark 🙏❤️
