I started working from home following a heart attack and open heart surgery at the end of 2018. 2019 was one complication after another, but I was finally cleared to return to the office in 2020 - just in time to go back home for covid.
This month is 5 years WFH. I drive 1 day a week for groceries, prescriptions, and comic books.
After doing it for 3 years, I had saved enough money to buy a house. Got that sweet 3.25% interest rate too!
So, yeah, bad for commercial real estate, for me it was pretty good for residential real estate. ;)
The best is when you multitask during a meeting and put two hours down on the ol time sheet because if I have to even listen to you then I’m working on that thing as well.
I would love to miss the social interactions. I am out on FMLA after being obviously sick for months. Did one single person at the office other than my boss even say “get well soon?” Fuck them.

I mean you have to pick up necessities.
Also, groceries and prescriptions.
Well, they aren’t going to buy themselves. :)
I’ve been fully wfh since 2015. I do miss the social interactions but I’m much more productive at home.
I don’t, but then I’m antisocial. ;)
And yeah, you do get more done when you aren’t pulled into meetings that could have been emails.
And even if you do get pulled into a meeting that should be an email, you can multitask on the Zoom call

Same. I miss donuts in the break room.
I don’t. I really couldn’t stand the people who would stand next to my desk having a 6 hour conversation with me or others sitting next to me.
