I’ve never had a WFH job and I generally don’t think I’d personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn’t like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I’m not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.


I thought I’d hate working from home, it wasn’t too bad. Then they made us hybrid, I thought oh no, worst of both worlds, it wasn’t that bad either. I went back to the office full time because I don’t have a home office and wanted to reclaim that space.
It’s pretty much the same job but teams meetings suck even more than in person meetings, and training new people too, worse.
What I do not like is a commute. I live about one mile from work so don’t even have to drive most days, if it was farther the calculation would be different.
My family loved me working from home because I did more of the cooking and housework, it kind of intensifies that inequality I think.
So I think personally I didn’t get much benefit from working from home but it was not nearly as bad as I thought it might be, if I had to I would.
