Pros: no commute, standup desk, background tv, cooking, can do tasks like making appointments, can attend personal appointments, works great with my flexible hours.
Cons: harder to focus, I like my coworkers so I prefer to be in the office to interact, feels rather isolated.
During long weeks I like to take one full wfh day. It almost feels like a nice break.
do you feel isolated in being left out of informal interactions, like "shooting the shit", or because your coworkers aren't as accessible to collaborate using whatever company chat system?
When I was working remotely and the rest of the team was in the office, I did feel left out. An organization that's part WFH and part office-based has to be very careful to avoid that. My current job is 100% WFH so there's nothing to be left out of, but I do still feel isolated. I don't miss the commute, and I don't miss the office, but I do really miss being around people.
I'd say it's a more general form of isolation.
Like @ethan said
We are a social species and I guess we have to respect that. I have trouble finding those folks with similar interests. And if i find them, I might still drop the ball in engaging.
