My place of employment has gone remote for a period of no less than one year. I am one of the few who can't really do my job from home, except for maybe answering emails. So, I actually go in. The people who have been working from home since mid-March have told me that they envy those of us who can still actually have a real work day at work. One told me on the phone a couple of weeks ago, "I'd trade with you in a heartbeat...I'm about to slit my damn wrists". And this was someone who honestly thought they would LOVE working from home. It just goes to show, there's WAY more to WFH than meets the eye. That same person asked me if I thought that when they said working from home would be for a period of at least a year, if that meant a year from this past March, or a year from now. It could possibly be a year from now. But I didn't have the heart to tell them that.

[QUOTE="MunchyOs, post: 1336514, member: 18029"] My place of employment has gone remote for a period of no less than one year. I am one of the few who can't really do my job from home, except for maybe answering emails. So, I actually go in. The people who have been working from home since mid-March have told me that they envy those of us who can still actually have a real work day at work. One told me on the phone a couple of weeks ago, "I'd trade with you in a heartbeat...I'm about to slit my damn wrists". And this was someone who honestly thought they would LOVE working from home. It just goes to show, there's WAY more to WFH than meets the eye. That same person asked me if I thought that when they said working from home would be for a period of at least a year, if that meant a year from this past March, or a year from now. It could possibly be a year from now. But I didn't have the heart to tell them that. [/QUOTE]
